Oscar Wilde noted that, 'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.' But what about, as Fatboy Slim sagely pointed out, that rare air in between?

The Emerging Writers’ Festival launches its 2016 program with four tales of failed ambitions. Each of these writers will reveal a time they have sought success, and share whether failure stoked their ambition.

The evening will reveal a packed program of events where Australia’s emerging talent takes to the stage and wows audiences, as well as unique professional development opportunities that cover all aspects of being a writer in 2016. Each year EWF brings writers, editors, publishers and performers together with readers for a festival that is an essential part of Australia’s literary calendar.

Hosted by Emerging Writers’ Festival Director Michaela McGuire, with Brodie Lancaster, Rajith Savanadasa, Laura Davis and Emma Marie Jones.
