Berry Writers Festival 2022

The inaugural Berry Writers Festival, held on the weekend of October 21-23 2022, has been judged by participants a genuine success – in no small measure thanks to the enthusiasm, generosity, and hard work of the Berry community, for which the festival Committee is very grateful.

Congratulations to Anita Heiss

Congratulations to one of the authors on our program, Anita Heis, who has won the Indigenous Writers' Prize  in the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards, for her novel : Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray, River of Dreams.

The awards are held annually and are the richest and longest running state-based literary awards in Australia and cover all genres of writing. This award is intended to acknowledge the contribution made to Australian literary culture by aboriginal and Torre Straight Islander writers.
