Featuring international guest author Nick Earls, the festival is designed to be fun and inspiring. There will be opportunities to hear Nick Earls speak, attend his master class, and dine with him at a Literary Dinner on the 30th August.
Also featured is guest playwright Alex Broun (Short & Sweet Play Festival) who is keen to share his passion for the very short play.
The Tropical Writers' Festival is also designed to offer real outcomes from workshops with presentations of work, at the Tanks Writers' Market later in the year.
