Thank you to our generous donors, foundations, and partners who made the 2025 Sorrento Writers Festival possible. Our four-day event (April 24–27) featured: 

  • More than 170 events, including a family and schools program and 220 speakers from around Australia
  • 22,742 tickets allocated and nearly 5,000 books sold 
  • A 30–60% increase in trade for local businesses 

As one of Victoria’s most exciting new cultural events, your continued support helps us grow. Donations and Partnerships enable us to plan with confidence, build our 2026 program, and expand our year-round offerings—author events, literary lunches, school visits, and more. 

The Sorrento Writers Festival is a registered charity with DGR status. Your donation is tax-deductible. Make a donation and help us continue bringing writers and readers together. Thank you for being part of our story.
