Welcome.

The Emerging Writers’ Festival is an independent arts organisation soon to be based in Melbourne’s new Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas.

We exist in order to promote the interests of emerging writers – to improve their opportunities for professional development as well as their engagement with the broader public.

Each year the Emerging Writers’ Festival brings writers, editors, publishers and literary performers together with the reading public for a festival that is fast becoming an essential part of Australia’s literary calendar.

The Emerging Writers’ Festival understands emerging writers – who they are, the challenges they face and the kind of inspiration and information they need to help them flourish. Our Festival is promoted as an open-age event and aims to encourage engagement from all segments of the literary community.  

The 2009 Emerging Writers'Festival will be held from Friday 22nd of May to the Sunday 31st May.
