Sydney Writers’ Festival

Australia's largest celebration of literature, stories and ideas.Each year, we present over 300 events (half of them for free) in venues stretching from the Festival hub at Walsh Bay to the Blue Mountains.For one week every May we bring together authors of the very best contemporary fiction and writers of cutting edge nonfiction, including some of the world's leading public intellectuals, scientists and journalists. With the finest literary writing at our core, our programming is driven by the ideas and issues that animate all forms of writing.
