The South Coast Readers & Writers Festival returns to Thirroul over the weekend of 5–6 July 2025 with a vibrant lineup of literary talent, from rising stars to international bestsellers. With headlining authors CHARLOTTE McCONAGHY (Wild Dark Shore), ISOBELLE CARMODY (Comes the Night), PIP WILLIAMS (The Bookbinder of Jericho), KATE FORSYTH (Psykhe), NIKKI GEMMELL (Wing), NARDI SIMPSON (the belburd), OMAR SAKR (The Nightmare Sequence), JESSIE TU (The Honeyeater), and AMY REMEIKIS (What’s the Big Idea?), plus many more festival guests to be announced.
Join us at the festival for gripping conversations on cautionary tales from the past and speculative futures, the reclamation of lost histories and endangered languages, climate grief and the turbulence of current affairs, new mythologies, explorations of womanhood, and the business of publishing.
From soul-stirring poetry readings, captivating literary fiction, historical recreation, and young adult adventures to thought-provoking non-fiction, intimate memoirs, gripping biographies, and cutting-edge politics, this year’s South Coast Readers & Writers Festival promises an unforgettable program.
Dive into a celebration of writing, ideas, and voices that inspire, challenge, and connect us, in the picturesque village of Thirroul on the NSW South Coast.
Full program to be released on 5 May 2025.
