Sydney Writers' Festival
Sydney Writers' Festival is one of the world's largest and most successful literary events. Each May, Sydney Writers' Festival presents over 400 events, attracting audiences of 100,000 to our gorgeous Sydney locations. We bring together writers from various forms and backgrounds, including the best contemporary novelists, screenwriters, musicians and writers of cutting edge nonfiction, and some of the world's leading public intellectuals, scientists and journalists. With the finest writing and storytelling at its core, our programming is driven by the ideas and issues that animate all types of literature. The Festival is a not-for-profit organisation, and as such, we aim to be accessible to a wide range of audiences. This objective sees us present many events for free during our May Festival, and was behind the 2015 launch of our Live and Local program, a new program that partners with local organisations to live-stream key Festival events into regional Australia. Sydney Writers’ Festival also has a dynamic program of events throughout the year. In November we present our annual Children's Festival of Moving Stories, with free events for children and families across Western Sydney. We are committed to providing opportunities for children of all ages to engage with books and stories through a variety of literary experiences. Partnering with Sydney Writers’ Festival as a business, foundation or individual offers a range of benefits. Visit www.swf.org.au to find out more.
