The Jugiong Writer’s Festival is a boutique festival which celebrates reading, writing & really good fun!

The Festival celebrates diverse Australian writers and stories, and is an opportunity for audiences to engage with literature and new ideas in a smaller regional setting.

Exciting News
from the Festival Committee!

(Added March 2025)

As we celebrate a decade of bringing writers, readers, and creative people together, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for your incredible support over the years! Your passion and dedication have made these festivals truly special.

Looking ahead, we’re evolving! We’re moving away from the traditional author-led workshops and are excited to introduce fresh formats and innovative ideas. Some exciting changes are in the works, and we can’t wait to share more details and upcoming dates with you soon.

Our school program, which continues to inspire and foster a love of writing in local Primary and Secondary students, will remain at the heart of what we do. We are focused on creating a space where young minds can explore and grow as writers in an engaging and inspiring environment.

As we enter this exciting new chapter, we’re also looking for fresh, creative minds to join our committee and help shape the future of the Festival! If you’re passionate about writing, creativity, and community, we’d love to have you on board … We encourage you to get in touch!

Stay tuned for more updates – exciting things are coming!
