Internships

The Sydney Writers’ Festival internship program is designed to facilitate learning within a collaborative office environment, as well as to offer practical experience working on a large-scale festival event. 

Each role has been designed according to specific learning outcomes. The internship program also provides valuable opportunities for students to network with professionals in Sydney’s thriving arts and cultural events industry.  

Our Internship Program is offered in partnership with UNSW Sydney, available to undergraduate and postgraduate students attending UNSW Sydney as part of an enrolled course in 2025.  

Applications for our 2025 internships are now closed.
