The 2021 Capricorn Coast Writers Festival has received a generous boost with a $17,500 grant from the Queensland Government.
The organisers received the grant from the Queensland Arts Showcase Program (QASP) which will allow them to host world-class writing and reading workshops.
The event will run from June 11 to 13 and is aimed at “anyone who dares to write, loves to read, and wants to learn”.
Keppel MP Brittany Lauga praised the festival organisers who worked diligently to bring nationally and internationally recognised authors to the area.
“They also aim to highlight local literary talent and shine the spot on the importance of books and reading to the local community,” she said.
