Sydney Writers’ Festival 2015
Elly Clapin
For another stellar year, Sydney Writers’ Festival has (sadly) come to an end.
From the 18th-24th May, writers, publishers, booksellers and booklovers swarmed Sydney for an astonishing program that thrilled, entertained, and inspired. Festival Director Jemma Birrell’s wrap up is available to read now on the SWF blog.
We had a fantastic time attending countless events this year, and especially enjoyed those that featured four of our talented authors – no bias! We’ve put together some of our favourite photographs from the week for your enjoyment below. And don’t forget to connect with our fabulous authors on Facebook and Twitter for extra behind-the-scene photos!
