This local gathering is designed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander storytellers to develop, share, and publish their stories Globally with First Nations Writers Festival.

Explore storytelling and writing skills
Develop your book or story idea
Learn about publishing pathways
Connect with a wider community of First Nations storytellers

FNWF’s work is rooted in ensuring First Nations stories are told in the authors’ own voices, helping preserve cultural knowledge, oral histories, and lived experiences for future generations while sharing them globally. 

? Why This Matters
First Nations storytelling has long been shared through oral traditions. Today, initiatives like FNWF are creating pathways to capture and publish these stories, ensuring they are not lost and are recognised worldwide. 
The festival is more than a writing program — it is a movement that:

Celebrates cultural identity and knowledge
Creates publishing opportunities
Supports emerging and established First Nations authors
Strengthens communities through storytelling

As the festival believes: when you raise one author, you raise a whole community.  Website: https://firstnationswritersfestival.org
