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.

The Kimberley Writers Festival is for lovers of stories, poetry, fiction, biography, children’s books, illustration, non-fiction, Indigenous culture, and nature. The three-day event includes both free and ticketed events.

The event is for storytellers from many walks of life coming together to share a common passion with booklovers.

Contact Kununurra Visitor Centre on 1800 586 868 to help you with accommodation. Tickets will be available through the Kununurra Library. Phone 08 9169 1227 or email librarian@swek.wa.gov.au for information.
