The Emerging Writers’ Festival is a not-for-profit organisation whose foundations are built on supporting emerging writers. We are a place where creativity and innovation are celebrated, where new talent is nurtured and where diverse voices from across Australia are represented.

Each year, EWF opens a callout for artists and writers to submit an expression of interest in participating in the Festival. Writers are invited to share not only their individual work, but their ideas for the events, topics and conversations that they want to be included within the Festival. Apply now!

In partnership with the Melbourne UNESCO City of Literature Office, Emerging Writers’ Festival is proud to host Georgie Fehringer for a virtual residency for the month of November. Follow the links below to see what they’ve been up to!
