EWF_logo_no_year The 2008 Emerging Writers’ Festival is looking for volunteers to help out with this year’s festival, 10th – 11th May at the Melbourne Town Hall and Federation Square.

Volunteers are needed to help out for a range of things over the whole weekend. Generally this will entail helping out on the door, room hosting and providing a general helping hand. As well there will be the highly popular showbag stuffing

People are also needed to help out for Scrabble - an event that sees Paul Kelly’s lyrics used to inspire emerging Melbourne wordsmiths with the challenge of sampling from the lyrics and creating something new. If you haven’t already, check out the program at www.emergingwritersfestival.org.au

All volunteers will receive passes to festival events and the experience of working on one of the most important events in the literary arts calendar!

Please email volunteer coordinator Emily Hollosy at with your name, contact number, and the following details:

  • Availability for a meeting to be held for volunteers on Tuesday 6th May at 6pm at Ross House in Flinders Lane. Including showbag stuffing on Tuesday 6th May at 7pm
  • Availability over the weekend (Saturday 10 – Sunday 11 May, mornings and afternoons)
