Be inspired, entertained and connected at the Kimberley Writers Festival in Kununurra from 6 to 8 September 2019.
This is a one-of-a-kind writer’s festival held in one of Australia’s most stunning, dramatic and remote locations, providing an opportunity to meet authors and special guests in an informal environment. It’s a completely different experience to big city writer’s festivals.
Now in its 14th year, the 2019 program will include workshops, readings, a literary breakfast, and more. The annual Sunday Ord River Cruise champagne brunch and storytelling returns, and is usually a sell-out.
Guests already confirmed for this year’s Kimberley Writers Festival include award-winning children’s writer and poet Meg McKinlay; Former Canberra journalist and foreign correspondent-turned crime novelist Chris Hammer; New Zealand-born and raised young readers author Raewyn Caisley who has a special connection with Kimberley country; novelist and playwright Steve Hawke; and award-winning writer and Sydney-based author and translator Tiffany Tsao.
