Share stories. Build better lives.

Welcome to Storyfest – a captivating celebration of storytelling for the entire family!
 Embark on a literary journey that honours tradition while exploring new horizons. As the premier writers' festival for the Gold Coast, Storyfest stands as a beacon of literary excellence, and its annual three-day event on the Gold Coast is the cornerstone of this spectacular organisation.

But Storyfest isn't confined to the Gold Coast alone; it extends its reach to embrace the vibrant cultural tapestry of regional Queensland. Explore the richness of storytelling at regional festivals, including South West (St George), Out West (Longreach), Central Queensland (Emerald), and introducing West Moreton (Ipswich) and Darling Downs (Toowoomba) in 2026, where the spirit of literature comes alive in unique and diverse ways.
