Word For Word National Non-Fiction Festival is back

The sixth annual Word for Word National Non-Fiction Festival program has been announced, with big name authors, speakers and personalities including Uncle Archie Roach AM, the Reverend Tim Costello, Jane Caro, Dr Ranjana Srivastava OAM, Benjamin Law, Clare Bowditch, John Marsden, Neal Drinnan, and many more heading to the Geelong Library & Heritage Centre from 15-17 November.

This year’s festival theme is Nyaal, meaning ‘Open Your Eyes’ in the language of the Wadawurrung people, Traditional Owners of Djilang (Geelong), and thus inviting visitors to open our eyes to scrutinise the issues of the moment.

There’s also some big name musicians to hit the stage including Clare Bowditch on her book Your Own Kind of Girl and blues rocker Ash Grunwald on his book Surf by Day, Jam by Night that explores the connection between music and surfing.
