Sydney Writer's Festival Livestream - Susan Choi

Next date: Friday, 22 May 2026 | 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM

Whitsunday Regional Libraries is proud to bring the Sydney Writers’ Festival to our community through the Live & Local program.

This initiative connects our libraries to one of Australia’s leading literary events, streaming selected sessions directly into our branches so local audiences can experience inspiring conversations without leaving the region.

Join us for a curated selection of sessions featuring some of today’s most celebrated voices, including Stephanie Alexander, Trent Dalton, and Susan Choi.

Whether you’re a passionate reader, an aspiring writer, or simply curious, these sessions offer a unique opportunity to hear from leading authors, explore new ideas, and connect with stories that resonate.

All sessions are free and will be livestreamed at your local library as part of our commitment to bringing enriching cultural experiences to the Whitsundays.

Susan Choi is the author most recently of Flashlight, shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize, longlisted for the 2025 National Book Award and named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, The Economist, The Financial Times, The New Yorker, NPR, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, among others. Her previous novels are The Foreign Student, American Woman, A Person of Interest, My Education and Trust Exercise, which received the 2019 National Book Award for fiction.
