Welcome to the 2014 Scone Writers Festival

Scone Literary Long Weekend – What is the future of publishing? Will the printed word become obsolete? Will paper books become dusty items relegated to antique shops? Or will digital and paper books continue to co-exist?

We have taken ‘Maintain the Page’ as our motto here in Scone where we'll be reining in a superb collection of authors to discuss their latest books.

Come up to Scone and immerse yourself in ‘the word’ - whether it be acoustic, printed or digitally enhanced.

The inaugural Scone Literary Long Weekend kicks off this year on the 3rd of October. There's a lovely program of literary events to while away the long weekend, and showcase some of the wonderful Upper Hunter region.
