MELBOURNE -- The Melbourne Writers Festival, which will be held this year from May 8 to May 12, is one of Australia's most anticipated literary events. Over nearly 40 years since it was founded in 1986, the festival has gained a reputation for showcasing local and international authors in panel discussions, workshops and readings.
This year's festival will also represent the swan song of its artistic director, Michaela McGuire.
