MWF is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on the help of almost 200 volunteers to assist with the delivery of the festival each year. Volunteers work in a variety of roles across the festival, including administration, customer relations, marketing, events, production, artist liaison and more.
As a perk for helping out, all volunteers get free access to all Melbourne Writers Festival events. The festival runs from Thursday August 21 until Sunday August 31.
