Sydney Writers’ Festival 2010
The
Sydney Writers’ Festival 2010
celebrates the year’s literature and welcomes the writers, both local and international, who have produced it. This year will bring to you a galaxy of writers who will excite, inspire, inform and, perhaps, even enrage you. Many of these writers are well known names, others you will be meeting for the first time. All of them have important things to say.
The literary endeavour is at the heart the festival and this year the festival welcomes the likes of Colm Tóibín, Peter Carey, Lionel Shriver, Yiyun Li, Les Murray, Alex Miller and a host of newer novelists, as well as the swag of poets who complete the literary roundup. You will also see space for poets and international writers to read their work but this year there will also be a series of Reading Musters, giving you the chance to hear a great number of local fiction writers read.
The program is exciting, and comprehensive; with over 300 events, many are free. There is something for everyone at this year’s festival. So strap yourself in and enjoy the Sydney Writers’ Festival which will run from the 15th May to 23rd May 2010. See you there!
