Canberra Writers Festival (CWF) has come under criticism following the recent launch of its 2020 program.
The festival, due to run from 12-16 August, has been criticised for a lack of diversity in its programming, which is dominated by Anglo-Australian writers.
Concerns about CWF’s programming have been raised by the ACT Writers Centre in a public letter, with other writers and authors expressing their disquiet on social media.
