Gloria Burley was the original Whitsunday Writers Festival Founder who sadly passed away in 2018. She had a passion for story-telling and penned three books herself.

It is part of her vision that now continues with new vigour in 2024.

Attendees of next year’s festival can expect an engaging mixture of genres, from crime to memoir, romance to screenwriting, and much more.

There is also expected to be a variety of informative talks covering hot topics such as Preserving the Written Word: Human vs AI/Chat GPT.

For lovers of reading, writing, books and words – the Whitsundays Writers Festival 2024 is a banquet of cultural entertainment – so save the date and invite your friends to a four-day event where everyone is welcome.
