Byron Writers Festival ’25 is almost here, and with it, some of the most vital conversations of our time.
From climate catastrophe to political upheaval, media truth to democratic decline, this year’s program tackles the big issues with intelligence and integrity, and points to solutions for the way forward. These are not just topics. They are questions shaping our future, and the minds on our stages discussing these ideas are among the most respected and fearless voices in the field.
From Executive Director of The Australia Institute Richard Denniss on the big visions needed to change our politics, and Peter Greste on the global fight for press freedom, Bundjalung lawyer Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts on the child protection system, to Joëlle Gergis on climate science, to political historian Judith Brett on the fragility of democracy, and advocate Thomas Mayo on the radicalisation of boys, this year’s program brings urgency and insight. You’ll also hear from Pulitzer Prize finalist John Vaillant on the age of fire, and George Megalogenis on Australian federal politics, plus many more.
Secure your ticket now and take your place at the heart of Australia’s most compelling literary event right here in the Northern Rivers.
