Gather by the sea for a four-day long festival where a talented line-up of Australia’s best authors, playwrights, journalists and academics will descend upon the coastal town of Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula.
Running from April 25-28, the Sorrento Writers Festival (now in its second year) is an opportunity for literary enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the power of storytelling.
The brainchild of award-winning journalist, podcaster, former bookshop owner and festival director Corrie Perkin, the event includes author meet-and-greets, keynote speeches, panel discussions, musical performances and an en masse book club.
The stacked program features the likes of Magda Szubanski, Christos Tsiolkas, Julia Baird, Hedley Thomas, Nick McKenzie and Caroline Wilson, plus Miles Franklin Award winners Alex Miller, Anna Funder and Amanda Lohrey – to name just a few.
Day passes are available now for $130, or you can purchase tickets to individual sessions. The majority of the events will take place at the Continental Sorrento, or nearby venues like the Sorrento Portsea RSL and Sorrento Golf Club. For more information, head to the website.
