2025 PROGRAM
A Speed Date with Love
DATE:
Friday 20 March, 2026
LOCATION:
Manly Life Saving Club
COST:
$25.00
Looking for your next great love story? In this lively, fast-paced Friday afternoon session, love and romance fiction writers each take the mic for a few short minutes to introduce their books — from first love and fierce attraction to grief, companionship, longing, and late-life connection.
Hosted by Alice Fraser, this is a fun, informal way to meet a roomful of writers, discover stories that explore love in all its forms, and maybe even find your next read.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
The Manly Writers' Festival acknowledges and thanks the original storytellers on the lands on which our events take place, the Gameraygal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge and respect their continuing connection and culture, and we pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present, as well as emerging leaders.
