Riverina Readers Festival 2025: Warmed by Words
Jul 24’
On Saturday 13 July, our Reading Team welcomed 13 Australian authors to the CSU Playhouse, Wiradjuri Country, to discuss their writing lives, readerships and methods of storytelling.
Accompanied by Collins Booksellers Wagga Wagga, Maybe Mabel and Jack of Hearts Photography, our attending readers have the opportunity to purchase new books, enjoy warming drinks on a sunny winter day and have special moments captured on camera.
Our Warmed by Words readers festival would not have been made possible without the support of Foundation of Rural and Regional Renewal, Eastern Riverina Arts, Inland Rail, Transgrid, Wagga Wagga City Library and a number of local supporters.
