Block out the weekend of 27-29 November in your calendars, because the 2026 Australian Short Story Festival program is LIVE!
We are excited to announce a fabulous Opening Night at Victoria Hall, 179 High St Fremantle, and two full days celebrating the short story form at Tannock Hall, Notre Dame Uni, corner of Croke St and Cliff St Fremantle.
This year’s program features 27 wonderful authors, 17 brilliant moderators, four creative writing workshops, four reading sessions, two launches, one pop-up bookshop and a light-hearted Closing Debate to bring down the curtain on this year’s Festival.
