Sydney Writers' Festival

Make sure you mark Saturday 10 April 2010 in your calendars. This is the date the full program for next year's Sydney Writers' Festival will be unveiled. The Sydney Writers' Festival Official Guide will be available as a liftout in the Sydney Morning Herald ‘Spectrum' and here on the SWF website. Tickets will also go on sale from this date.

The 2010 Sydney Writers' Festival will be held from Monday 17 to Sunday 23 May.

I have been given the privilege of taking the reins of the 2010 Sydney Writers’ Festival and have already started working to ensure next year’s Festival is as provocative, engaging, stimulating and as much fun as the best of them.

We've added plenty of podcasts of some of this year's Festival events. Recordings feature Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Richard Flanagan, Mohammed Hanif, Stefan Aust and more.

Thanks to our friends at SlowTV and ABC Fora you can also watch video recordings of many popular Festival events. 

Visit the Writers Talk 2009 website for video interviews with some of the fabulous authors of children's and young adult literature who participated in this year's Festival.

A collaboration between the NSW Department of Education and Training’s Centre for Learning Innovation and Sydney Writers' Festival, Writers Talk is an invaluable resource for students, teachers and aspiring writers.
