In true literary fashion — just when you thought the plot had settled, there is a twist!

We are excited to announce that the dates for the 2026 festival have shifted.

After careful planning and to ensure the best possible experience for everyone, including fitting around major sporting events in Margaret River and Busselton, we are turning the page and re-booking the festival for 15–17 May 2026. Meanwhile, the Busselton Book Festival will be returning on 16–17 May 2026.

Please mark your calendars (in pencil, just in case the story takes another exciting turn!) because this event promises to be bigger and bolder than ever before.

Get ready to immerse yourself in a vibrant celebration of bold conversations, big ideas, and brilliant stories. Whether you’re an avid reader, a curious thinker, or a lover of storytelling, there will be something to spark your imagination.

Stay tuned for more updates on featured authors, workshops, panel discussions, and special events coming soon.

Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm — we can’t wait to see you there!

Save the new dates: 15–17 May 2026 (Festival) & 16–17 May 2026 (Busselton Book Festival)
