Canberra Writers Festival brings Andrew O'Hagan and emerging voices
The Canberra Writers Festival runs October 15 to 18. It offers chosen programs for crime, biography, memoir and emerging writers.
The Canberra Writers Festival starts October 15 to 18. It holds themed events across National Library, National Archives, MoAD and the National Portrait Gallery.
The festival pairs well-known authors like three-time Booker Prize nominee Andrew O'Hagan with new writers. Artistic Director Andra Putnis says the festival offers pre-chosen paths.
These work for history lovers, current affairs fans, sci-fi readers and memoir lovers. The festival keeps book signings, coffee breaks and conversations within reach.
By day, events happen on the Parliamentary Triangle's sunlit lawns. By afternoon and night, the program moves into Verity Lane and Smith's Alternative venues.
You can explore at your own pace. You don't need to have read the books first.
