The program, according to event organisers, is focused on inspiring powerful storytelling, generating engaging discussion and driving social and industry advancements.
Founder and Director of the festival, Bonita Mersiades, stated:
“We are thrilled to bring together such an incredible array of talent for this year’s festival. We hope that the festival helps connect people and ignites meaningful conversations through reading, writing and ideas.”
Events on offer at the festival include a series of one-on-one conversations with published authors, panel and individual discussions, and lectures exploring current issues including social media, AI (artificial intelligence) and navigating social change, trivia, school programs and a special opening night book launch.
Banner printing and poster printing are useful tools at festivals like this one, presenting attendees with clear venue and schedule information, and highlighting the names and topics of speakers in formal, staged discussions.
Festival attendees will also have the chance to browse and discover new reads from local and emerging authors in the biography, contemporary fiction and fictional and true crime genres.
Promoting itself as a festival for “writers, readers and thinkers”, the Manly Writers’ Festival returns for 2025 from Friday the 28 to Sunday the 30 of March, taking place across the heart of Manly.
