The National Young Writers’ Festival (NYWF) is an annual gathering of young writers from Australia and New Zealand.
Our programs are free, and made by and for young writers who create across stage, page, web and beyond.
Since its creation in 1998, we've showcased work in both new and traditional forms including zines, comics, blogging, screenwriting, poetry, spoken word, hip hop, music, journalism, autobiography, comedy and prose. NYWF presents ‘writing’ in its broadest sense through panels, discussions, workshops, launches, performances, readings, installations, and more.Our program combines practical skill-building sessions with social events, interactive projects, writing showcases and collaborations.
All NYWF events are FREE.
