Peter Cowan Writers Centre is thrilled to present Perth’s newest literary festival celebrating all things fiction, with proud sponsorship from City of Joondalup, Dymocks, and Edith Cowan University’s Creative Writing program in the School of Arts and Humanities.

You’ll be entertained by back-to-back panels featuring some of Australia’s most popular children’s, young adult and adult fiction writers.

Whether you’re a reader or a writer and your interests are crime, romance, thriller, speculative fiction, fantasy, historical, domestic noir, contemporary or literary fiction, we’ve got you covered!

Dymocks Joondalup will be there selling books for you to get signed by your favourite authors.

We also have publishing heavyweights coming to tell you everything you need to know if you’re an aspiring fiction author PLUS an opportunity for children’s, YA and adult fiction writers to pitch your manuscript in person!

Coffee and delicious lunches and snacks will be available.

A huge and unforgettable day in Perth’s north, we look forward to seeing you there!
