Ongoing support is vital to our festival to ensure that we continue our long legacy of introducing new Australian voices to the community and that we continue to produce a 100% free festival.

Each year, the National Young Writers’ Festival (NYWF) delivers an entirely free four-day festival in Newcastle, NSW.

But these 25 years have not been achieved alone. We’ve been able to pull off this significant festival with the support of generous funding partners. and moving forward we want to grow, expand and provide more support and features for our artists, staff, volunteers and audience – so we’re asking for your help!
