Coming to The Capitol 25 Oct 2024

Presented by RMIT’s Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing

Odyssey Literary Festival is evolving in Naarm/Melbourne on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People. We pay our respects to their elders, ancestors and the deep tradition of storytelling embodied in these lands. 

RMIT Professional Writing and Editing’s flagship literary extravaganza has returned after a half-decade hiatus. There will be interactive activities, panel discussions and trailblazing debates featuring Australian publishing’s best and brightest. 

From childhood to adolescence, coming-of-age to midlife malaise, the ageing body to the great beyond – join us on this literary voyage through life’s liminal stages. 

So dust off your notebooks, journeyed storytellers, and grab your (completely free) ticket. It’s gonna be epic.

Our partners

Odyssey Literary Festival would not be possible without the support of our various partners and mentors, in particular the teaching staff at RMIT University’s Professional Writing and Editing Program. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this incredible voyage!
