FESTIVAL FRIENDS

Manly Writers' Festival

Join a unique community of readers, writers, and thinkers as we help bring a cultural and literary life to Manly. 

 

This is the second year of the Manly Writers’ Festival, and we are presenting more than 90 leading writers from the Northern Beaches, elsewhere in Sydney, throughout Australia, and the UK to celebrate the power of storytelling, share stories, and explore ideas. 

 

Join us as a Festival Friend and receive a pass with the following benefits.

 

  • Priority booking period;

  • 10% discount to all festival sessions, other than the young readers (schools) program and the Charity Literary Trivia Night;

  • 10% discount on all purchases from Gleebooks at the festival;

  • 10% discount on other Festival merchandise;

  • Exclusive access to the Friends of the Festival Lounge to relax between sessions (Friday and Saturday only);

  • Literary Greats Journal (may differ in later years). 

 

Not only will you enjoy these exclusive benefits, but you’ll also be satisfied with supporting a great local initiative. The Manly Writers’ Festival is making its mark on the overall literary scene and contributing to the cultural life and diversity of Manly and the Northern Beaches. 

​

If you're eager to explore the global changes shaping our world or to discover your next favourite book, the Manly Writers' Festival offers the time and space to do so.

 

A Friend of the Festival package is $65 for one year (2025),

or $170 for three years (2025, 2026, 2027).
