The Melbourne Writers Festival drew to a close on Sunday following the most successful year in its history. The cash-strapped festival saw a massive increase in ticket sales with more than 40,000 people attending, and the event was well represented by a vast selection of local and international authors, poets, editors, booksellers and journalists.
Next year the Festival will move to Melbourne’s high profile Federation Square and sessions are already planned in the two ACMI cinemas, the Atrium and the BMW Edge, along with a festival hub for people to relax between sessions; outdoor events; free events; live streaming; children’s activities and plenty more.
