Write Around the Murray is an annual literary-based festival held in Albury. It brings together some of Australia’s best authors and storytellers in a welcoming and relaxed environment. The diverse program includes author talks and workshops, art exhibitions, a poetry slam, writing competitions, WAM4Kids family events, and always an element of surprise.
Many events are free or low cost and provide a unique opportunity for rural communities from NE Victoria, the Southern Riverina and beyond to not only listen to their favourite authors, storytellers and illustrators, but also to meet, greet and talk to them.
Regular presenter Jason Steger describes the festival as “small and perfectly formed”. Past guests include Isobelle Carmody, Tim Flannery, Graeme Base, Benjamin Law, Graeme Simsion, Alison Lester and Jackie French.
