From the 14th of March until the 16th of March, you can attend a wide array of sessions and workshops at the
Manly Writers’ Festival .
The theme this year is ‘Stories to Inspire’, looking at the vibrant literary life of Manly beyond the beach and ferry. Manly and the Northern Beaches is an area that is rich in cultural and linguistic diversity and creativity, making it a perfect place to have a festival like this.
2024 is the inaugural Manly Writers’ Festival, taking place over two and a bit days to bring readers, writers, thinkers and ideas together with writing. They will be exploring a range of issues at a time of major change in the world – but also, the power of enjoying a great story – which is what all writers’ festivals are about. Let the Manly Writers’ Festival feed your heart and mind, and leave you feeling energised, informed, and inspired.
With more than 80 authors over 40 events, there will be things for readers of all kinds, as fiction genres are celebrated every hour across many genres, a literary life of an agent, an emerging fiction writer, as well as talks about gender, COVID, and all the other things impacting the world and the way we are writing and reading.
From talks with local authors at a breakfast on Friday, to
writing as a form of activism , or a
discussion about how the pandemic has affected children, which has been a feature of several recent middle grade and young adult books, there is sure to be something for everyone. If you want to buy books, Gleebooks will be there on Friday and Saturday.
Tickets for general sessions are $20, and special events will range from $30-$75, and can only be bought via the website, and profits are being shared between charity partners Literacy for Life Foundation and the Northern Beaches Community Cancer Charity. The website will advise availability for each event when you go to buy tickets.
