The Byron Bay Writers Festival is a literary event taking place annually in Byron Bay, New South Wales. The festival commenced in 1997, and is run over a weekend. As of 2010 it included presentations by over 100 participants.[1] The festival has included interviews with a number of notable writers including Bret Easton Ellis, Matthew Reilly and Kathy Lette.[2] In 2005 the festival had an audience of between 7,000 and 8,000, an increase of 25 per cent over the previous year. Notable participants included Midnight Oil drummer and songwriter Rob Hirst, writers Delia Falconer and Kate Grenville, and novelist Robert Drewe who lives in the area.[3] The tenth festival was held in 2006, and attracted an audience of 9,000 across 90 sessions. Presenters included sports journalist Gideon Haigh, actor and writer William McInnes, and Robert Drewe.[4] The 2010 appearance by Bret Easton Ellis received mixed coverage following his remarks, both at the festival and through Twitter, about Australian singer Delta Goodrem, commenting "I didn't know who she was but God she's really hot".[5][6] The Byron Bay Writers Festival is organised through the Northern Rivers Writers' Centre.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/northcoast/byronwritersfestival/?section=about|title=About The Byron Bay Writers Festival|work=ABC North Coast New South Wales|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=22 September 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/arts/byrons-writers-festival-attracts-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/story-e6frg8n6-1225903136503|title=Byron's writers festival attracts the good, the bad and the ugly|last=Sorensen|first=Rosemary|date=10 August 2010|work=The Australian|accessdate=22 September 2010}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/books/a-festival-by-the-sea/2005/08/13/1123353541285.html|title=A festival by the sea|last=Sullivan|first=Jane|date=14 August 2005|work=The Age|accessdate=22 September 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2006/08/24/1722054.htm|title=Byron Bay Writers Festival in review|last=Munro|first=Jane|date=24 August 2006|work=ABC North Coast New South Wales|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=22 September 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/american-psycho-author-bret-easton-ellis-has-designs-on-delta-goodrem/story-e6frfn09-1225902327137|title=American Psycho author Brett Easton Ellis has designs on Delta Goodrem|date=7 August 2010|work=The Daily Telegraph|accessdate=22 September 2010}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/more-than-zero--ellis-tells-of-drugs-death-and-delta-goodrem-20100808-11q7g.html|title=More than zero – Ellis tells of drugs, death and Delta Goodrem|last=Wyndham|first=Susan|date=9 August 2010|work=Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=22 September 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au/v1/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=78|title=About Us|publisher=Byron Bay Writers Festival|accessdate=22 September 2010}} External links
