The Shape of Words

Reimagining the theme for the annual Sydney Writers Festival

The event name The Shape Of Words was chosen to reflect the impact words and literature have on peoples lives. Born from the understanding that words have a profound impact on both readers and writers, often shaping a persons character.

Postcards

All the passages were sourced from Australian authors who expressed their various experiences associated with reading.
