Writers Assemble!

Writers Assemble!                     

Writers Assemble! is South Australia’s new writers’ festival. Across three days and seven events, this FREE festival brings together some of Australia’s best writers for discussions on craft, careers, and creativity.

The panels deliberately jumble writers from different genres and age groups—spicy romance meets children’s literature, horror crashes into YA fantasy—to uncover the universal themes and techniques that power all stories. Each session will spotlight one of the five story senses—Humour, Justice, Belonging, Danger, Wonder—and explore how writers bring these senses to life in the books you love.

For emerging writers, an interactive Meet the Publishers session offers a chance to hear directly from South Australian publishers and ask your burning questions about getting published.

The festival concludes with a star-studded conversation on what it takes—and what it feels like—to be a bestselling author. We hope you can join our guests and celebrate the best in reading and writing.
