Almost all the ticketed events have sold out ahead of the festival’s opening today.
The five-day event will include panel sessions, author talks, book launches, workshops, exhibitions, short story competitions and a schools program involving about 1300 students.
Festival co-ordinator Ann-maree Ellis said about 120 tickets had been sold for Christine Anu: In Conversation and Song, with some seats still available.
But other features such as Stereo Stories, Insiders Live and Literary Lunch were fully booked.
“We’re really excited that the ticket sales have gone off and there’s a lot of free and gold coin events that people can still book for,” Ms Ellis said.
Friday will bring the WAM Slam, an evening of poetry that proved a hit last year.
“A lot of local poets came out and it was a really exciting night, so I’m really looking forward to that again,” Ms Ellis said.
