Sydney Writers’ Festival: Homegrown

This spring, Sydney Writers’ Festival’s Homegrown is coming to the Bega Valley! Homegrown is a free program celebrating Australian writers, ideas and stories, presented by Sydney Writers’ Festival in partnership with the State Library of NSW. We’re bringing a selection of Homegrown sessions to Eden and Bermagui libraries, giving local audiences the chance to experience conversations and stories from some of Australia’s most exciting writers, thinkers and cultural voices.  

Featuring Garth Nix, Myf Warhurst, Josh Frydenberg, Christos Tsiolkas, Michael Robotham, Susan Orlean and more.

Join us for a great line-up of live streamed conversations, ideas, books and stories – all free at your local library.
