Welcome to Melbourne Writers Festival
That’s a wrap on MWF 2025!
What a week. What a community.
From Opening Night to the final applause, this year’s Festival was a joyful, generous celebration of stories in all their forms.
We’ve laughed, cried, questioned, and connected — and we’re walking away with full hearts (and long reading lists).
To every artist, volunteer, and festival-goer: thank you for making MWF 2025 magical.
See you again in 2026, but until then stay up-to-date with us (and be the first to know any announcements) by subscribing to our eNews.
Give today, inspire tomorrow
