The Word Festival Canberra arose from a suggestion by Alison Broinowski, later the chairperson of the Melbourne Writers Festival, that Canberra should stage a two to three day festival in the “off” years from the Adelaide festival. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane had not yet established their annual Writers Weeks. Alison in 1982 chaired the first committee, followed in 1983-1987 by Colin Steel, Australian National University Librarian and Marion Halligan from 1987. At first the Word Festival committee was based at the Australian National University (ANU) but in 1998 moved to Gorman House Arts Centre.

The Word Festival Canberra was known initially as the Australian National Word Festival, incorporated on 4 November 1986, but was also known as Wordfest in the early 1990s and in general parlance as the Canberra Word Festival. It was decided to change the name in August 1993 to the Word Festival Canberra, although the original name continued to be used until it was re-incorporated on 21 June 1994. It was wound up in 2003.

The first festival was held in Canberra in March 1983 and every two years thereafter until 2001. In common with similar festivals in other Australian cities and overseas, its purpose was to bring writers together to talk about their ideas and work with publishers, booksellers and readers and to stimulate interest in writing and sales of books. Accompanying exhibitions were held in the National Library, the National Gallery of Australia, the ANU and other major national and educational institutions. The annual Antiquarian Bookfair was held as part of the Festival until 1989, when the booksellers set up independently. From 1983 to 1989 there was a separate Young People’s Day for primary and secondary school groups to meet children’s writers; from 1991 children’s authors were included in the main program. and there was also a Fringe program, both associated with the main festival.

Although the primary purpose was to produce the biennial Word Festival, the committee engaged with other literary and community festivals in both Canberra and other Australian cities, either by presenting seminars and exhibitions in conjunction with the main programs, or for public relations purposes. In 2001, with a grant from the Centenary of Federation, the Word Festival Canberra published a book, Storykeepers.

Writers at Tilley’s was a regular literary event organised by the Word Festival committee and sponsored by the Library and the Department of English at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA). It may have developed from a similarly sponsored program that started at ADFA in about 1986 to record Australian authors reading their own work. The Library videotaped and archived these readings which were performed in the Library. However, in October 1990 a reading was held in Olims Ainslie Hotel under the title Writers at Ainslie, with additional sponsors, and for the Word Festival held in March 1991 a second such reading was held at Olims. Thereafter, regular readings were held at Tilley Devine’s Cafe (later known as Tilley’s Devine Cafe) at Lyneham, under the management of a Word Festival sub-committee and supported by grants from the ACT Community Arts Program. Some of these were recorded.

From 1989 to 1996 the Word Festival committee and the Friends of the National Library coordinated with the Australian Feminist Book Fortnight to produce annual seminars and other events related to Women and Reading. From 1997 to 2002 these annual events were renamed I’d Rather Be Reading, organised by the Word Festival Canberra and generally in partnership with the National Library and others.

Financially, the Festival has had a variety of sponsors. Rigby, Esso and the Canberra Times were early supporters, followed by the Literature Board of the Australia Council, the British Council, the ANU Co-op Bookshop, and ACT government grants through the Cultural Council and its successors. Embassies, international cultural associations such as the Goethe Society and the Alliance Francaise, airlines, publishers and others have also provided support, usually in kind. In 2002 the major ACT government funding body withdrew support.

The National Library of Australia holds records of the Festival from 1982 to 1986, at MS 8055.
