Help NT Writers Festival ‘Go Global’

Donate to bring an Award Winning International Author to the NT Writers Festival!

There will be a day when you have a story to tell.

And stories can take a long time to be heard.

We know you care about motivating the next generation of writers and your money will fly in an international award winning author to Darwin for the 26NTWF to inspire the diverse literary culture of the NT to tell their stories world wide.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 with the help from our community of writers and storytellers, and any money raised by 31 May 2026 will be matched by Creative Australia.

The NT Writers Festival audience has told they want to see international authors at NTWF – and we want to make that happen. Our audience consists of emerging and published authors, arts and culture lovers, families and the general public who love stories, storytelling and events inspired by place. They want to connect with international authors, hear from authors who have won prestigious recognitions such as Stella, Booker or Miles Franklin awards, and to learn and be inspired by them. Help us give the audience what they want!

• bring an award winning international author to the NT Writers Festival 2026 in Garramilla/Darwin
• support First Nations performers and storytellers from remote communities to participate in and attend the festival
• deliver fantastic events and bring world-class interstate authors to the NT
• provide engaging events for children, and foster a love of reading, writing and storytelling in all ages
