Welcome



We are very excited about our fifth Sydney Jewish Writers’ Festival (don’t let the name mislead you – you don’t have to be Jewish or a writer to attend).
 
The SJWF used to be a biennial affair but we had such a great response last year and there is so much Jewish literary talent out there, we’ve decided to run a smaller-scale version this year. There’ll be a pre-event on Thursday 29 August at 8.00pm with Laurent Binet, the acclaimed French author of HHhH.
Then join us for the main event on Sunday 1 September to be inspired, entertained and challenged by top international writers Michael Bar-Zohar and Boaz Bismuth, as well as Australian authors including Prof. Bryan Gaensler, Andrea Goldsmith, John M Green, Kooshyar Karimi, Hugh Mackay, Nikki Stern and more.
