• The Grand Sweepstakes: Take part in exclusive raffles and giveaways featuring premium bookish prizes and experiences, available only at the event.

Evening Glamour: The After Dark Literary Soirée

The books may close, but the evening is just beginning. We’re ending the event with the After Dark Soirée, and you’re invited to trade the real world for a night of pure, unscripted wonder.

• A Feast for the Senses: We’ll have incredible food waiting for you, along with signature cocktails and drinks to keep the conversation flowing.

• The Perfect Vibe: No stiff ballroom silence here. We’ve curated a soundscape that’s designed to get you moving and keep the energy high all night long.

• Authors, Unfiltered: This is your chance to hang out with your favorite Australian authors away from the podiums and signing tables. Grab a drink, snap a photo, and chat about everything, on or off the page.

• Dress Your Soul: This is the night to be whoever you want to be. Go full Gilded Age glamour, suit up in your best battle armor, or lean into the ethereal with wings and pointed ears. If "classic cocktail" is more your speed, that’s perfect too. There are no rules—only your imagination.
