The 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week has been cancelled and the remaining members of the Adelaide Festival Board have resigned as of this afternoon (13 January).
The news follows this morning’s resignation by Writers’ Week Director Louise Adler, the earlier resignations of Board Chair Tracey Whiting and Board members Daniela Ritorto, Donny Walford, and Nick Linke on Sunday (11 January), and the mass exodus of writers from the program in protest.
