Held annually in iconic outdoor locations, the festival alternates between Garramilla / Darwin and Mparntwe / Alice Springs. With a thousand miles between locations, the festival shifts from the tropics to the desert, from coastal to inland, from Larrakia to Arrernte Country, creating a character which reflects the diversity – environmental, cultural and social – of the Northern Territory itself.

Founded in 1999, NTWF has hosted an impressive array of some of Australia’s most distinguished writers, thinkers and storytellers, including Charlotte Wood, Gina Chick, Bruce Pascoe, Kim Mahood, Christos Tsiolkas, Hannah Kent, Trent Dalton, Rick Morton, Larissa Behrendt and Alexis Wright.
