The inaugural Eumundi Writers Festival kicks off on Friday the 22nd August 2025, and continues through the entire weekend.  Berkelouw Books are hosting the opening night celebrations which will include the launch of Tony Wellington's new book Mixtapes and Memories: Triumphs and Tragedies in 1980s Music, and a music trivia quiz. Creativity, critical thought and the written word will be celebrated, with more than 35 authors, illustrators and speakers presenting. Headlining the three day program will be best selling author Nikki Gemmell, who will feature in multiple events including an in-depth interview, a memoir panel and the judging of the short story competition.  The festival is a vibrant opportunity for readers, writers and lovers of language to immerse themselves in workshops, exhibitions, market pop-ups, author talks and live performances, all within walking distance of central Eumundi.  For more information go to the Eumundi Writers Festival website www.eumundiwritersfestival.com.au and you can purchase tickets via Humanitix.
