Auckland Writers Festival brings the world to Auckland. Six days of good times and great ideas with the world’s best writers and thinkers.

Every year we stage over 200 public events, gathering together 230 of the world’s best writers and thinkers with over 73,000 festival goers, to celebrate the world of books and ideas. The Festival brings the very best local and international writers of contemporary fiction and non-fiction, scientists, economists, poets, journalists and public intellectuals together with audiences to explore ideas, share stories and experience brilliant conversations. We celebrate curiosity and intellectual adventure and our programme is driven by the desire to spark ideas, to get us talking and engaging with the world.
