Help us give young people a free day of ideas, creativity, critical thinking and inspiring encounters with writers.
About
Manly Writers’ Festival is an independent, not-for-profit, volunteer-led literary and ideas festival on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Through conversations, workshops and performances, MWF brings writers, thinkers and audiences together to explore books, ideas and contemporary issues, while encouraging curiosity, critical thinking and a lifelong engagement with reading.
We acknowledge the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and honour their Elders past and present.
We respect their deep enduring connection to their lands, waterways, and surrounding clan groups since time immemorial. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples’ artistic and cultural expressions. We are privileged to gather on this Country and to share knowledge, culture and art, now and with future generations.
