Adelaide Writers' Week

Adelaide Writers' Week (AWW), known locally as Writers' Week or WW, is a large and mostly free literary festival held annually in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia in February and March. It forms part of the Adelaide Festival of Arts and comes under its governance. Writers' Week is held outdoors in the Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden, where attendees meet, listen, and discuss literature with Australian and international writers in "Meet the Author" sessions, readings, and lectures.

Each Adelaide Writers' Week includes six days of free panel-sessions presented live in the gardens, later made available online via podcast. Selected sessions are shown live via videolink in some libraries. There are also free events for children and young adults, at which children's authors present their work for a range of ages, and other activities take place. The programme also features a series of ticketed special events, both at Adelaide Festival time and throughout the year.
