#SWF2018 is a boutique literary arts event, home to North Brisbane’s Bayside, held over 3 days | two venues.We have been crafting festival programs that showcase Indigenous and Non-Indigenous wordsmiths since 2013.
We co-host two linked literary events to complement the weekend festival program, including: a CBD-based launch event at Brisbane Square Library and a local bayside literary dinner at EclecTea Vintage Cafe, Brighton. In 2018 we’ve expanded our festival program to include: #LoveOzYA Youth Literacy Day for young people 12 - 25yr + educators + youth mentors.
Our FREE community program features diverse storytellers, panel discussions and workshops. Featured writers include: Sue McPherson | Mirandi Riwoe | Benjamin Hobson | Rohan Wilson | Aunty Rhonda Collard - Spratt | Jacki Ferro | Paula Weston | Nick Earls | Tristan Michael Savage | Teagan Chilcott | Peter Carnavas | Kate Wild and Linda Skerman.
