Support Us
The Sorrento Writers Festival is Victoria’s biggest literary festival. In 2024, more than 5000 visitors heard 190 speakers tackle a raft of issues – from democracy to leadership and partisan politics, to cookbooks, gardening, sport, and understanding the creative writing process.
In 2025 we will present again an exciting and bold program featuring some of Australia’s most respected writers, community leaders, academics and journalists. None of this can be achieved without the support and encouragement of the community we serve. Please support us through donating and partnering to support our mission to bring writers and readers together in a safe and respectful space in which to have meaningful conversations, exchange ideas and spark important conversations

Support us to make the 2024 Sorrento Writers Festival ambitious, exciting and successful
Why Donate
In April 2025 we aim to bring 150+ writers, poets, academics, historians, journalists, community leaders, artists, musicians and children’s authors to Sorrento.
Our accommodation and travel costs are huge; so, too, the execution of a bold and interesting program which will present more than 100 events to our beautiful coastal township.
The Sorrento Writers Festival welcomes private individuals and families and organisations who would like to give so we can achieve our goals.
We thank those who have pledged their financial support for 2025 and beyond via our three-year pledge scheme, and we invite everyone to join our donors and supporters community.
To note: all donations over $2 are tax deductible. And if you’d like to chat further about our organisation’s long-term goals and ambitions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via [email protected]
