Sydney Writers’ Festival 2023

Sydney Writers’ Festival is returning this May for a week of enriching conversation around our 2023 Festival theme, Stories For The Future. As Australia’s largest celebration of literature, we’ve brought together leading authors, public intellectuals, journalists, and more. Whether you’re a literature lover, news junkie, or a YA fan, SWF has an event just for you.  Join us from 22–28 May to meet with writers and thinkers to learn and discuss how we understand the past, how we live in the present, and how our worlds, imagination, and actions can shape the future
