From the organiser
In 2027, the NT Writers Festival (NTWF) returns to Mparntwe/Alice Springs. The four-day festival brings community and visitors together to share story, language and culture. A vibrant festival where place is in focus.
The program includes locals and welcome those from afar. It unearths new talent, and features them alongside established writers. Side by side, sharing thoughts and experiences, the audience will hear new voices and ideas, while immersed in a rich NT experience. NTWF has a reputation as a national leader in amplifying Australian First Nations voices, as well as linguistic and cultural diversity.
Held annually in iconic outdoor locations, the festival alternates between Garramilla / Darwin and Mparntwe / Alice Springs. With a thousand miles between locations, the festival shifts from the tropics to the desert, from coastal to inland, from Larrakia to Arrernte Country, creating a character which reflects the diversity – environmental, cultural and social – of the Northern Territory itself.
Founded in 1999, NTWF has hosted an impressive array of some of Australia's most distinguished writers, thinkers and storytellers, including Charlotte Wood, Gina Chick, Bruce Pascoe, Kim Mahood, Christos Tsiolkas, Hannah Kent, Trent Dalton, Rick Morton, Larissa Behrendt and Alexis Wright.
