Despite recent flooding and heavy rains in and around their ambit as well as ongoing COVID-safety issues, both Brisbane and Sydney Writers Festivals are prevailing and will return to celebrate storytelling in all its forms.
This year the Brisbane Writers Festival (BWF) is back for its 60th year anniversary, with over 200 events taking place over six days on 3 – 8 May. Addressing its theme, ‘Where our stories live’ BWF CEO Sarah Runcie said: ‘The spaces of our city plus the stories we tell create the place we live, and we hope this year’s Festival does Brisbane proud as it reflects our city’s culture, diversity and literary depth’.
