About Western Port Writes
Western Port Writes (WPW) is a literary festival located in the Western Port region of the Mornington Peninsula, held in Somers and surrounds. Designed to celebrate creativity and the art of the story, it showcases both established and emerging writers connected to our region and beyond.
From author panels, in-conversations, interviews and readings to collaborative community events – in 2024 we gathered and shared stories from talented authors and storytellers. A school program engaged local schools and students, and emerging writers were invited to attend a day dedicated to publishing and self-publishing. WPW Literary Festival will return in 2026.
