Queenscliffe Literary Festival

The Queenscliffe Literary Festival Inc presents a lively and engaging program of events with leading Australia writers of fiction and non-fiction.
It's held across three weekends in May.

Now in its sixth year, the 2021 festival theme is RETHINK. With every aspect of our lives affected by the tumultuous events of 2020, let's take time to dwell on how we can create a better future. As always, the Festival will offer interactive author talks, keynote speakers, a writing workshop, a theatre performance and Kids Day events in our local primary schools. The micro-fiction competition, Penned, which proved so popular in 2020 also returns to challenge all age groups.

Begun in 2015, the festival is run by a voluntary committee of management as a not-for-profit incorporated association. All participants in the program are paid appearance fees.
