Failed Writers’ Festival

Failed writers aren’t failures: they are the artists for whom the market has failed. The voices that are just as valid, just as intense, and have just as much to say – but are not so neatly packaged and edited. In many ways, these are the voices which are desperately needed in our fractious society of increased costs and housing shortages.

The featured writers for the inaugural Failed Writers’ Festival come from a range of diverse backgrounds and communities from around Sydney. Come and experience unique, diverse and important takes from a selection of writers.

At Petersham Bowling Club on Thursday 2 November, 7-9pm

This Boundless Festival 2023 event is run by Writing NSW, with support from Petersham Bowling Club.

Boundless is a biennial festival for Indigenous and culturally diverse writers presented by Writing NSW. All events in the festival are free to attend; register at writingnsw.org.au/boundless-2023/
