The Emerging Writers’ Festival acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, learn and work, and pays respect to their Elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Program Launch: Good at Being Bad

Starting out as a writer can be exciting, confusing, laborious work, and we don’t always get things right the first go around. So, what would you do differently, given the chance? Get a taste of this year’s program as Ana Maria Gomides, Mykaela Saunders, Cher Tan and Thabani Tshuma hop into their respective time machines and talk about committing, recovering, and learning from a variety of literary faux pas. Join them as they share tales of their formative literary experiences and celebrate the ways in which they’ve grown.

EWF’s Artistic Director Ruby-Rose Pivet-Marsh and Program Coordinator Greer Clemens will also unveil the 2022 hybrid program, including some of this year’s festival highlights, to help prepare you for a winter of words.

This event will be live-streamed. If you are unable to attend this event in person, simply visit this page at the time of the event to tune in. If you wish to attend in-person, bookings are essential.
