Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival 2015 @ Margaret River Cultural Centre – 31st May 2015

The seventh annual festival will be held over the May long weekend, 29-31 and features the theme of Seasons.
 
The festival brings a range of authors, playwrights, poets, musicians and comedians to the town to participate in a celebration of literature. Many of those attending would only otherwise be seen by flying to interstate or overseas writers festivals. Guest authors this year include: John Marsden, Isobelle Carmody, Michelle de Kretser, Sami Shah, Justin Heazelwood, Fiona Palmer, Martin Chambers and Sophie Zakolar to name just a few.
 
The festival offers day passes or individual tickets and is a unique opportunity to meet much-loved authors in a relaxed and beautiful setting. A range of workshops for emerging writers is also run during the three-day event, from how to illustrate in the garden to how to get a manuscript published. Book online www.artsmargaretriver.com.
