“Writers’ festivals can be such a rich and exciting resource for both writers and readers … because they always offer up so many new words and worlds to both their audiences and their participants,” Ms Hay said.
Festival director Chloe Higgins said it was the first time they have introduced an international program. This year’s theme is “global conversations”.
Ms Higgins said she was excited to bring artists from Vietnam, USA and Scotland into the program, plus an event based around a Berlin translation project.
Ms Hay will be joined by Kate Evans, presenter of BooksPlus on ABC Radio National, for the launch event.
