Volunteer at BWF: Applications are now open

Do you want to be part of Queensland’s premier literary festival?  

Brisbane Writers Festival is currently seeking enthusiastic and motivated individuals to volunteer for our exceptional 2017 program.   

Brisbane Writers Festival returns in 2017 from Wednesday 6 to Saturday 10 September.   Presented by UPLIT, BWF is designed to explore ideas, identity and imagination through conversation and debate, powered by the year’s best writing.  Held in tropical springtime within the State Library of Queensland and the adjacent Cultural Precinct, this annual and much-loved cultural institution continues to grow every year and attract an eager and ever-increasing community of highly-engaged readers.  

Brisbane Writers Festival could not take place without the generosity of our 200-strong team of volunteers whose invaluable commitment allows us to deliver a spectacular event.   

If you wish to be involved, find out more or apply online here.
