Support Us

You give, we grow. It’s as simple and as wonderful as that.

Without your help, we cannot stage our Festival. Nor can we harness funds for the newly-formed Sorrento Writers Festival Literacy Fund which helps children on the Mornington Peninsula to access books, improve their reading and writing skills, and create curiosity.   

We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of our sponsors, donors and community partners, whose commitment helps bring the Sorrento Writers Festival to life each year.
