The Hobart Writers Festival!
TasWriters would like to thank everyone who took part in the Hobart Writers Festival this year!
The festival presenters, performers and volunteers were all amazing and we couldn’t have done it without you!
TasWriters looks forward to our next festival in 2021. If you’d like to see what went on you can always check out the festival website. Or, if you’re looking for the next big literary event, The Terror Australis Festival will be held in Cygnet at the end of October.
Congratulations to the Emerging Tasmanian Aboriginal Writer Award winner, Kartanya Maynard!
This year’s theme was: My Tasmanian Landscape. The judges were inaugural 2017 winner Adam Thompson, Jillian Mundy and Theresa Sainty.
Membership is open – join here!
In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, TasWriters acknowledges the Mouheneenner People and the traditional owners and custodians of the land, and we pay our respect to the elders past, present and emerging.
