Supporting as a Company

Sydney Writers' Festival partnerships are bespoke and tailored whist offering organisations the opportunity to align their brand with Australia’s largest literary festival and one of the top five literary festivals in the world (London’s The Telegraph).

Every year the Sydney Writers’ Festival presents a program that reflects the evolving nature of Australian culture. With over 300 participating authors, across 200+ events, we foster important public conversations, helping audiences better understand each other and the broader community. These events are attended by over 100,000 lovers of writing, reading, books and ideas and are presented at venues across the city including Carriageworks, Sydney Town Hall, City Recital Hall and the State Library of NSW, as well as at several satellite venues across greater Sydney and a live-streamed program to a national audience in regional Australia. The Festival's diverse lineup includes everything from the world's most beloved, bestselling writers to family-friendly authors and exciting contemporary voices.

Our partnerships are each created to suit our partner’s objectives and requirements. Supporting organisations align their brand with Sydney Writers' Festival, and gain access to our audiences through a broad range of marketing and public relations campaigns. Potential benefits include:

• Access to authors for private events
• Branding reach
• Customer acquisition (eg through aligned discount codes)
• Hospitality for clients or stakeholders
• Corporate social responsibility
• Brand activations within the Festival
• We welcome a dialogue on how we might build a sponsorship that is tailored to suit your company's priorities.
