The annual Local Word Writers Festival brings our diverse local writing communities together through workshops, panel discussions, authors in-conversation and literary-themed social events.
It's a hyper-local festival for adult audiences, designed to celebrate and showcase the creative and literary talent of Victoria’s south-west region – from Geelong, the Bellarine, Colac and the Great Ocean Road from Torquay to Cape Otway.
For established and emerging writers, and appealing to readers and book lovers generally, the festival includes topics and books from fiction and non-fiction genres and includes storytellers of all kinds.
