Introducing the Festival App

With two weeks to go, we’re delighted to share with you the Manly Writers’ Festival App.

To download it to your smartphone or other device, head to here, find the instruction toward the lower left of your screen to ‘Get Mobile App’, and once downloaded to your device, choose to add the App to your home screen. (These instructions may differ slightly depending on how you’re reading this).

The App includes information on the program, where each session will be held, the authors, writers, and hosts, and other bits-and-pieces of information. If something changes with the program or the line-up of storytelling talent at the inaugural festival, we’ll let you know through the App also.

We hope you are as excited as we are to experience the extraordinary power of storytelling at the Manly Writers’ Festival! 📚 Check out the program, meet the authors in a relaxed, accessible, friendly, and intimate environment, and help us begin a new chapter in Manly’s cultural life.

A reminder that tickets for the general sessions are $20, while Special Events range from $30-$75. Tickets are available exclusively via this website. You can buy tickets here.

Any profits from ticket sales will be shared between the festival’s two charity partners, the Literacy for Life Foundation, an Aboriginal-led adult literacy charity, and the Northern Beaches Community Cancer Charity which helps people living with cancer on the Northern Beaches.
