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.
