The Whitsundays Writers Festival is excited to announce Beach Book Boutique as its official Festival Bookshop.

Established in September 2015, Airlie Beach’s iconic independent bookstore overlooks the expansive lagoon. It offers new releases and second-hand books in-store and online, including their unique book exchange for new and high-quality recycled books.

Beach Book Boutique will be selling select titles of both Festival speakers and local authors and will host meet and greet sessions and book signings during the Festival. A smaller bookshop will be on-site at Festival venues.
