This year a new era crystallises for the Emerging Writers' Festival with eight days bursting with cross-disciplinary projects, industry insights, community connection and bold creative energy.
The festival is a sanctuary to spend quality, transcendent time with not only your own work but with other creatives. The re-imagined event formats are designed to assist with approaching the festival in a more intuitive, curious way, with new vantage points.
With over 70 events spread across eight days, in and around Naarm (Melbourne) and beyond. You'll find panels, workshops, exhibitions, performances, projects, and events and other projects that don't quite fit into those labels. Dive into the program and enjoy!
The festival is supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants, Creative Victoria and Creative Australia.
