To ensure Byron Writers Festival can continue to support and nurture writers, readers and storytellers please make a donation today. As a not-for-profit organisation run with a small team of staff and volunteers, contributions of any size go a long way in enriching the creative culture of our community. Amounts over $2 are tax deductible.

Your donations will:

• Enable us to bring the most significant national and international writers and thinkers to the annual Festival.
• Fund the professional development of emerging regional writers through our Residential Mentorship program.
• Bring together local writers and industry professionals through our year-round workshop program.
• Foster the next generation of readers and writers through our free creative writing workshop for schools – StoryBoard – and our annual Festival schools program.
• Subsidise Festival tickets for young people.

2017 Ticket donations: Pay it Forward – Supporting flood-affected schools

This year, we are asking all Festival patrons to donate to help cover the costs of flood-affected schools attending the Byron Writers Festival Schools Days. Look for the ‘Donations’ option when you buy your ticket for the annual Festival (available from 24 May with Early Bird tickets).

Thank you. We couldn’t do it without you.
