Volunteer with BWF

Each Brisbane Writers Festival is made possible thanks to dozens of fantastic volunteers. People from all walks of life gather to celebrate books and literature, and put on a fantastic show for BWF's audiences.
The 2021 festival is a hybrid with both digital and live events. Most of the festival will be held on Saturday May 8 and Sunday May 9 2021 at the State Library of Queensland. Some other events take place in other venues or at other times.

Team Leaders
Many of the positions in the festival have an opportunity for some confident, outgoing volunteers to take up leadership roles. These offer an increased challenge and come with additional responsibilities, and can be a rewarding way to gain some experience in a leadership role. Let us know on your application form if you're interested in a leadership position.
