The Manly Writers’ Festival is a celebration of books, ideas, and thoughtful conversation, bringing readers, writers, and curious minds together across Manly. Established in 2023, the festival has quickly become a place where stories, critical thinking and lively discussion meet in a coastal setting.

Each yea,r we present a rich program of panels, interviews, and special events featuring leading authors, commentators, and local and emerging voices. Full program details, speakers, and ticket information can be found at manlywritersfestival.org.au.

We are a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission, and contributions of $2 or more may be tax-deductible.
