About Lit.

Lit. Whanganui Booklovers Festival conjures a diverse bi-annual programme of books, reading, writing, authors, discussion, and ideas from across the motu and beyond, to entertain, educate and charm our Whanganui bookloving community.

Between festivals, we also play host to a string of author events, hand selected to bring storytelling personalities to the Whanganui community.

Lit. Whanganui Booklovers Festival is run by a small dedicated team of volunteers. Our current crew is Karen White (chair), Mary Anne Sleyer (treasurer), Sharyn Wallace (secretary), Margaret Samuels, Tanya Hayton, Waiora Bailey-Moore, Teresa Cimino, Rose Miller.
