OUR PATRON, Festival Partnerships & Funding Bodies


Thank you to our Patron, David Hammon, whose incredible generosity has enabled Varuna and the Blue Mountains Writers Festival to support the writers of Australia in ways that we would not be able to otherwise.

Thank you to our state and federal funding bodies, Create NSW and Creative Australia, who provide the core funding so essential to the ongoing support of Australian writers.

“The connectedness of the venues made it feel like a village or community of writers. I felt at ease and that it was a place I belonged.”
