Meet the Festival 2025 Participating Writers

The Hobart Festival of Women Writers has, since 2013, celebrated and recognized women‘s literary work. We’ve brought together writers who work in all genres to read, present workshops exploring writing craft, participate in panel discussions, and sell their books. We also exhibit artwork by local women artists. Our three-day weekend dedicated to women writers is open to all readers, writers, and lovers of language. All are welcome.

Twelve Years and Counting

This fundraiser is a call to arms, but not in a military sense. It’s more like arms linking, shoulder to shoulder, to support the people and programs that make us feel connected and hopeful. We are facing a headwind, but we are not ready to quit.

Eleventh Time’s a Charm!

We had a raft of craft workshops, three public readings open to all, two panel discussions, an art exhibit entitled “Absence Is Not Empty,” and lots of books for sale.

Registration is Open!

Once again, we have launched our Indiegogo Fundraising Campaign. Each year we’ve appealed directly to The Festival’s friends, family, and colleagues to offer their support of our program. We thank you heartily for past support and ask that you once again help us to grow and thrive.
