Join us for three days in Melbourne with a remarkable group of leading writers and artists from around the world debating and discussing nonfiction NOW.

Listen to and take part in conversations on the beauty and politics of contemporary essay writing; on ethics in memoir and the lines between fiction and nonfiction; on graphic narratives, radio, film, visual art, online works and nonfiction poetry. The role of the media in democracy; crime, food and travel writing; and stories bound to landscapes and places near and far: from Alaska to the Philippines, to our own city of literature, Melbourne… and much more besides.
