Over the past three years we have featured an exciting and diverse group of writers connected to our region and beyond.

Meet our 2026 Authors

We are excited to share the authors who will be joining us in October for the second Western Port Writes Literary Festival. We’re delighted that these talented writers will be in conversations or on panels chatting about their books. Our theme this year is What’s the Narrative? We’ll be exploring what drives the stories that writers share.

Our Festival Program is released. Go to our Program 2026 page to see the full program and purchase tickets. Keep your eye on our socials and News page for any news and updates.
