Voices on the Coast is an annual youth literature festival, held on the Sunshine Coast. The festival brings some of Australia’s finest established and emerging writers and performers for young people to the area for two days of workshops, book-talks, storytelling, poetry and drama.

In 2014, 26 Australian authors, illustrators, poets and performers were invited to talk and hold workshops at the festival.

Over 4500 school students, teachers and interested adult readers accessed over 135 talks or workshops on the topics including e-publishing, fan-fiction, illustration workshops, writing workshops, blogging and other electronic platforms, plus Shakespeare performances and workshops.

In conjunction with the festival, adult events such as the literary breakfast, launch and adult writing workshops were also held.
