And just like that, the 14th Hobart Festival of Women Writers has come to a close.

Over three days, writers, readers, poets, teachers, and lifelong learners filled the bookstores, galleries, churches, and gathering spaces of Hobart with creativity, curiosity, and conversation. From workshops and readings to spontaneous discussions over coffee and walks through the Book Village, the festival once again proved that the written word has a remarkable way of bringing people together.

Thank you to our presenters, volunteers, sponsors, attendees, booksellers, and the entire Hobart community for making this year's festival such a success. Whether you traveled across the country or just down the road, we are grateful you chose to spend the weekend with us.

As we pack up another festival, we're already looking ahead to next year. Until then, keep writing, keep reading, and keep supporting the voices and stories that make our world richer.

See you in Hobart in 2027.

The 2026 Hobart Festival of Women Writers comes to a close on Sunday, June 7, but not before one final morning of inspiration, creativity, and conversation.

Saturday at the Hobart Festival of Women Writers was exactly what this festival does best—bringing together people who love words, ideas, and stories. Throughout the day, workshops filled bookstores, galleries, and gathering spaces across Hobart as participants explored everything from poetry and fiction to marketing, memoir, and the creative process itself. Public readings gave attendees a chance to hear powerful voices and fresh work, while conversations spilled out onto sidewalks, into cafés, and between the bookshelves that make Hobart such a special place.

Today is the final day of the festival, and there's still room to be part of it. *Walk-in registrations are welcome Sunday beginning at 8:30 AM at the Hobart Community Center.*

If you've been thinking about joining us, come spend a day in the Book Village with writers, readers, and lifelong learners. We'd love to see you.
