2020 Schools Program
The Newcastle Writers Festival Schools Program is a wonderful opportunity for students to engage with their favourite authors and be inspired in a fun, educational and interactive way. For the third year, all author presentations are free though registration is still required. In these popular sessions, writers perform from their work, talk about their craft and take questions from students.

NWF is a large event run by a small team and we need your support. The festival is an incorporated association with Deductible Gift Recipient status and all donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible. Please consider a donation.
