Manly Writers' Festival 2026

Manly Writers’ Festival is back! This March, we’re bringing Stories across Manly — from the beach to the fairway and places in between. Come explore, and you’ll find a story in every street.

The program is organised into pathways to help you navigate the Festival. Each pathway brings together sessions with shared themes or interests, but they’re not meant to be followed from start to finish. They’re simply a way to explore what’s on offer, mix and match sessions, and create your own Festival experience.

For further information or to stay up-to-date, visit our website at www.manlywritersfestival.org.au.
