Byron Writers Festival Full Program Announced
The stories in the 2018 Festival program will take audiences from the wilds of New Zealand to North Korea, Tuscany and back home to near-by Goonengerry. Authors traverse territory including anxiety, crime, the Frontier Wars, the Anthropocene, science, comedy, immigration, the wellness industry and poetry and explore music, whales, romance and debate whether reading can make you happier.
The Byron Writers Festival has been announced with a line up of 140 writers and thinkers, who will converge in the glorious Byron Shire this 3 – 5 August for the 22nd annual Festival. Three days of ideas, storytelling and conversations will unfold across six stages at the beachside Festival site at Elements of Byron Resort, and will be complemented by diverse writers’ workshops and evening feature events in Byron Bay and the wider Northern Rivers region.
Printed programs will be distributed locally in this week’s Byron Shire Echo and will be hitting cafes and bookshops throughout the Northern Rivers, the Gold Coast and further afield next week. Digital copies are available to download on the Festival’s website.
Explore the 2018 Festival program… perhaps you will find old favourites, or delight in the discovery of new ones. One thing is for sure, this year’s Festival has something for everyone.
