The Wheeler Centre is the centrepiece of Melbourne's UNESCO City of Literature Initiative
The Wheeler Centre is responsible for programming a range of events across the year: the annual Premier’s Literary Awards and Children's Book Festival, keynote public events including international speakers, as well as book and magazine launches, speeches, debates, seminars, poetry recitals, book readings, symposia, awards and performances - all revolving around the world of books, writing and ideas.
It's also a hub and home for writers and key literary organisations, including the Melbourne Writers’ Festival, Writers Victoria, Express Media, Emerging Writers’ Festival, Australian Poetry, the Small Press Network and the Melbourne branch of PEN International.
You can watch videos of most of our events for free on our website, follow us on Twitter, see our short clips on YouTube or subscribe to our newsletter to stay abreast of new events, featured content and special offers.
