The National Young Writers’ Festival (NYWF) has announced the team who will develop the 2025 Festival which will be held from 3-6 October 2025 on the land of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples in Newcastle, NSW.

The 2025 NYWF team consists of Festival Coordinator Thirangie Jayatilake, Creative Producer Lay Maloney, Creative Producer Huyen Hac Helen Tran and Marketing and Digital Coordinator Monique Wallace. Recruited following the Festival’s hiatus in 2024, the new team will be responsible for bringing this year’s NYWF to life and engaging young writers between the ages of 18 and 35 (inclusive).

“We’re delighted to share the 2025 Festival team – an impressive cohort of emerging leaders who are passionate about writing and literature, and who will present a stellar Festival program this October,” said Jessica Alice, Chair of the NYWF Board.

In the coming weeks, the 2025 NYWF team will be issuing a call-out for young writers and artists keen to participate in the Festival.
