That's a wrap!
Thanks to you, our readers, writers and loyal supporters, BWF 2025 has had a blockbuster year at our new venue, the Brisbane Powerhouse.
With more than 100 events, 200 authors and thousands of visitors, BWF was filled with fascinating stories, inspiring conversations and passionate book lovers.
Thank you to our participating artists, volunteers, partners, and you. Thanks for reading, thanks for writing, thanks for coming along and supporting us at the Festival in its new home, or for cheering along from the sidelines. While it’s a wrap on the four-day Festival extravaganza, we have more stories to bring you. Stay tuned for more literary events and exciting announcements. Over and out!
