Program
Live & Local
Sydney Writers’ Festival is Australia’s largest celebration of books and ideas, bringing the world’s finest authors and esteemed thinkers together for insightful and exhilarating conversations and discussions.
The Sydney Writers’ Festival Live & Local program offers a free livestream of Festival sessions to libraries and community centres across regional Australia to share directly with their audiences.
“I can’t speak highly enough of this program, I think what it offers the community ticks all those important boxes of inclusion, accessibility, literary culture and community service.”
“The value of streaming to the bush cannot be overstated.”
