Huge names like Pip Williams, Kate Morton, Monica McInerney, Graeme Simsion, Toni Jordan and JP Pomare join us for their first Festival of Fiction.
Some of our most-loved interstate authors from previous festivals begged to return: we’re excited to welcome back household names Mem Fox, Christos Tsiolkas and Sally Hepworth.
Beloved WA writers to hit the stage will include Sara Foster, Holden Sheppard, Rachael Johns, Natasha Lester and Dervla McTiernan.
Ten publishers and agents will be in attendance to for all the writers in the crowd to learn from, too.
