Become a Patron of Newcastle Writers Festival: Celebrate Stories, Shape Connections

Stories lie at the heart of human connection. They teach, inspire, and remind us of the shared humanity woven through our unique experiences. By joining Newcastle Writers Festival’s Patrons Program, you’ll not only champion the transformative power of storytelling but also enjoy an exclusive, behind-the-scenes festival experience that deepens your connection to the literary community.

Patrons enjoy an insider’s experience of Newcastle Writers Festival, including:

· Invitation for two to a special festival program preview event

· Invitation for two to the opening night gala and VIP drinks event with guest writers at the annual festival

· Recognition in the printed program and website (with permission)

· Invitation to exclusive events with guest writers during the year, such as British philosopher A.C Grayling, who will join us in May.

Your contribution as a Patron includes a tax-deductible donation starting at $1,000, alongside an annual $100 membership fee—ensuring the festival continues to thrive and create meaningful literary moments for years to come.

Join us in celebrating the magic of stories and help sustain this vibrant community of writers and readers.
