Your chance to see your local literary heroes in the flesh.

Newcastle, home to beautiful beaches, and little-known cultural hub will once again host the Newcastle Writers Festival.

From contemporary crime to Aussie rock’n’roll history, poetry, blogging, sex addiction, World War I, there’s something for everyone.

Talents lined up for this year’s progam includes serial slashie (broadcaster slash author slash humourist… you get the idea) Wendy Harmer; The Daily Life‘s Clementine Ford, Kirstie Clements (former editor of Vogue Australia), and more.

For all you lit-lovers, the Newcastle Writers Festival will be held from Friday April 4 to Sunday April 6, across various venues in Newcastle.
