Program

Community

Sydney Writers' Festival is a space for everyone. A space for fostering ideas, community and advancing the artform.

Our programs bring diverse communities together over a shared love of literature and to uphold this, we want to make sure that the Festival is as accessible as possible.

We're offering discounted ticketing and special events to the communities who need it most. Discover what's on offer below.

Storytelling can remind us that we are capable of doing, being, and creating more.
