Overview

From Wednesday, May 29 to Monday, June 3, various venues across the Central Coast will become the scene for a celebration of stories and ideas, Words on the Waves Writers Festival. Like any good literature festival, you can attend events and talks by big-name authors, book launches, and writing workshops. However, there are a few things that set this event apart.

Firstly, there's the location. The Central Coast is known for its stunning scenery, and here, you can attend events at Umina, Ocean Beach, and Ettalong Beach.

Secondly, there's the literary cruise. Leaving from Woy Woy Wharf on the morning of June 3, it's a two-hour journey through literature and water, affording you an experience you won't find at any other festival.

Thirdly, and for the first time ever, there's The Dip. A program stream featuring affordable and free events, The Dip is about discovery and accessibility. You can listen to best-selling authors like Judy Nunn, Anna Downes and Nat's What I Reckon — the enemy of both censors and jar sauces — all for a low price.
