Overview

It’s time to mark your calendars! The Canberra Writers Festival program is here, and it's packed with more than 100 brilliant speakers and writers and 64 captivating discussions in our biggest and most vibrant program in the event's history.

Across five days in October, you're sure to find something you love—from celebrated authors to rising literary stars. Running from October 23-27, the festival’s new springtime programming will allow you to be the first in the country to access several highly anticipated books.

Whether you're deep into a writing project, want to get started on that book you've been dreaming of, or even starting a podcast, join up to one of 13 masterclasses from award-winning literary creatives like Charlotte Wood and Markus Zusak.

Whether you're passionate about culture, the wonders of language, the environment, crime and justice, sexual politics, journalistic integrity - or you just love a damn good story, this year's festival has something special for you.
