Constellations – Not Writer’s Week

From 28 February to 5 March – the week left vacant by this year’s cancelled Adelaide Writers’ Week – the local writing community, including authors, booksellers and publishers, will come together with a range of events for readers and writers under a one-off umbrella festival, Constellations.

The umbrella festival has been organised by a broad range of local representatives, including booksellers, publishers and authors, with not-for-profit industry body Writers SA acting as a central point of communication and logistics. 

A number of key events will be announced in the coming weeks, including autonomously curated First Nations, poetry, and children’s and YA programming. 

Under the heading of Constellations, organisers are inviting bookshops, libraries, schools and other venues and community groups across both Adelaide and the rest of the state to register events and get involved. Participants can organise an event independently, or the group is happy to play matchmaker, putting interested venues and authors in touch to coordinate details as needed.
