Sydney Writers' Festival

16–22 May 2022

VIEW THE PROGRAM Artistic Director Message
Sydney Writers’ Festival acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our events take place. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present.

Australia’s most beloved celebration of literature, stories and ideas.

The 2022 Festival theme, Change My Mind, is an invitation, a challenge and a promise of intent.
