Meet our volunteers
We’re so grateful for our volunteers and the work they do over the festival weekend. We could not run the festival without their support and involvement.
Here’s what some of them have said about volunteering:
 |
Diaga Goodall
“With 13 years working as a Willy Lit Fest volunteer, I can recommend the experience for anyone who cares about books, lively discussion and doing something worthwhile”. |

Deb Curtis
“Participating in this community event is absolutely fantastic! I have met lots of new people in my neighbourhood. I was also lucky enough to meet Barry Cassidy who was only to pleased to autograph his book which was a gift to my husband for his birthday”. |

 |
Roger Holloway
“In my 12 years of volunteering for the Willy Lit Fest I have made many friends, attended inspiring presentations and ready many great books. I wouldn’t miss it for quids”. |

![This illustration of a young Ada Cambridge was designed by Shuobing Kuang, a student at @suzannecoryhighschool to accompany the Young Adas prizes for 2022. If you are (or know!) a young writer based in the Western suburbs aged 14—18 they are eligible to enter the Young Adas.
The Young Adas are accepting submissions until April 8 for pieces up to 1000 words. Entry is free and full submissions details are available on the Willy Lit Fest website.
On her artwork Shuobing says: "the cross hatching and style of Ada Cambridge's face mimics the art style in illustrations for some classic literature" and the "wavy patterning creates a sense of movement, which aims to establish a sense of flow and life when combined with the vibrant [Willy Lit Fest] colours".
If you are a school or a teacher and would like us to send you a poster, get in touch!
