For the readers. the writers. the thinkers.

Tamar Valley Writers Festival

The Tamar Valley Writers Festival is a standout event in Tasmania's cultural calendar, combining a love affair with their valley landscape and an invigoration of words, storytelling and ideas.

Since the first festival in 2014, they have welcomed some of Australia's most famed writers and thinkers to the valley, as well as emerging writers, podcasters, critics, journalists, playwrights and poets. Diversity is their jam, and they've embraced everything from romance, politics, crime and poetry to comedy, memoir, songwriting, film and television. There is always a special place for first nations writers, and also for the spectrum of minority voices that make Australia such a rich tapestry of stories. The festival unites for the love of words.
