- **Event Description**: Sydney Writers’ Festival brings together a broad and engaged community around the sharing of books, writing and ideas.

Each May, we host brilliant storytellers across all forms in a thoughtful, challenging, riotous fun week-long celebration of writing, books and ideas at our home at Carriageworks in Sydney’s Inner West and across the city. Since our first Festival in 1997, the world’s best novelists, poets, journalists, public intellectuals, economists, politicians, podcasters and scientists have come together to discuss some of the most pressing issues of our times on our stages.

We are a not-for-profit organisation and audience accessibility is at the heart of our Festival programming. We run a free podcast program, which has had over 3.5 million downloads since it inception in 2016. One-third of our events are free, and our Live & Local streaming program beams the Festival from our home in Carriageworks to regional libraries and community centres right across the country.



2026 Festival program is being announced on Tuesday 10 March
