NT Writers' Centre

NT Writers’ Centre is a community of writers and storytellers creating and celebrating the diverse literary culture of the Northern Territory.
We support, develop & showcase vibrant writing & storytelling. NT Writers’ Centre supports, develops and showcases vibrant writing and storytelling in the Northern Territory – celebrating the unique contribution of NT stories and storytellers to Australia’s cultural identity.
Our cornerstone event – the NT Writers Festival – is the Northern Territory’s premier literary showcase. Held alternately in Mparntwe | Alice Springs and Garrmalang | Darwin, it is a festival like no other: bringing readers, writers and storytellers together in an annual celebration of ideas, words, stories and languages that showcases our unique NT culture and rich First Nations heritage.
We deliver an annual development program, including workshops, residencies, events and member services that support and develop writers of all genres at all stages of their careers.

Our programs aim to unearth new talent, provide development opportunities, and amplify First Nations and diverse NT voices and stories.
