We have piles of AWF PROGRAMMES in the shop – or go to writersfestival.co.nz
We’re buried under an avalanche of AWF books (phew!) & are delighted to be running the numerous (phew again!) festival bookstalls with our friends Unity Books. We’ll have about 25,000 books & 35 staff at the Aotea Centre for the week.
