Why support Sydney Writers’ Festival?

As the largest festival of its kind in Australia, Sydney Writers’ Festival plays a pivotal role in shaping the intellectual, cultural and social life of our city. Writers and readers from across our country and the world gather to explore their work and debate the most pressing issues of our day. Face to face in real space and in real time. With 50% of our events provided free, we are dedicated to ensuring that the festival is accessible to all.

How are we funded?
