The big reveal is almost here: we’re about to announce the full program of the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival 2013 and that means you have until midnight 6 June to make your savings with discounted Early Bird 3 day passes. From 7 June, the entire bountiful smorgasbord of program choices is on offer and you can pick and choose your workshops, feature events and foodie favourites.
For now, save and savour as we surrender the worst kept secret in Festival land: yes, Peter Carey will be featured in the main marquee program and it’s a BBWF exclusive. Fans of the twice winner of the Booker Prize will meet him in conversation with Matthew Condon and in an intimate special event in the heart of Byron Bay. This is a Festival with literature and story at its heart: literary lions Robert Drewe, Andrea Goldsmith, MJ Hyland, Cate Kennedy, DBC Pierre and Michael Robotham are masters of their arts and will appear across the 3 days of the Festival.
Purchase your 3 day pass then pounce on the program once it’s unveiled to start circling your sessions. It’s bristling with juicy possibilities: hitch a ride on an Early Bird before they fly the coop.
