In 2024, we extended our outreach programme to Emerald. Storyfest provides regional communities with equitable opportunities to interact with authors and books in a fun, festive atmosphere. Rarely—if ever—do writers festivals come to the outback. We seek to change this by strengthening connection in regional communities, making inspiration accessible to all.
Come along to the opening night of Storyfest Central Queensland, this free community event is for the whole family to enjoy! The Prologue Party is a night of festivities to celebrate and a great opportunity to meet some of Australia’s best authors and illustrators!
Enjoy all the fun with games, activities, performers and much more to enjoy in a fairground atmosphere. The festival bookshop will be open, it is a great opportunity for adults and children to browse the bookshelf and find that perfect book.
Variety of dinner and beverage options available for purchase.
Join us for an adult panel session where esteemed authors and literary experts will gather to discuss diverse themes, writing techniques, and the evolving landscape of literature today.
