Writers on the Road 2022
We’re tripping again! Byron Writers Festival is sending its Writers on the Road crew out on tour again this May for a series of free community events. Our tour bus will be bursting with stories from acclaimed authors Krissy Kneen, Dylin Hardcastle (formerly Sophie), Danny Teece-Johnson and Jan-Andrew Henderson. Stories that connect us, comfort us, challenge us and keep us going through troubled times.
Join us for conversation at Bellingen, Harwood, Byron Bay, Pearces Creek, and Ballina. All events are free and open to the public.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, bookings are essential at the venue.
