The Berry Writers’ Festival returns in November 2026, bringing together authors, opinion shapers and readers for three days of conversation, inspiration, and celebration.

South Coast Writers Centre is excited to announce an Indie Authors Panel event, held in partnership with this year’s Festival.

If you’re a local indie author, submit your expression of interest below to be featured on the festival panel.

We also invite local indie authors to submit their books to our Indie Book Stall, also happening in November at Coledale Hall.
