Nestled in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Writers Festival celebrates storytelling amid stunning natural beauty. With inspiring workshops, lively panel discussions, book launches and signings, the festival fosters connection and ignites imagination.

2-4 MAY 2026: A Constellation of Stories
Every voice a star. Every story a light.

We all live beneath the same sky, yet our stories are shaped by different places, cultures, histories, and imaginations.
At SCHWF, writers from diverse backgrounds gather to form a living constellation—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, oral storytelling, and emerging forms—each voice adding light, meaning, and connection.

You are invited to trace your own pathway through these stories across our shared horizon.

Your donation helps create an inclusive, vibrant 2026 festival, welcoming diverse voices, readers, budding writers and curious minds seeking inspiration and unforgettable shared literary experiences in a unique hinterland setting that nurtures creativity.
