THE Byron Writers Festival 2016 is again hosting the Five Writers Road Trip, which will see five writers head to five towns in five days, talking writing and reading for free at pubs, clubs, cafes, galleries, schools, libraries, service stations, bus stops... anywhere really.  

This year's Fab Five are Luke Carman, Kate Forsyth, Gabbie Stroud, Jesse Blackadder and Miles Merrill, captained by evil genius and holder of an unblemished van license, Zacharey Jane.  

They'll hit the road on Friday July 29, stopping in at Coffs Central 30th July at 11am, before ending up at the Byron Writers Festival on Saturday August 6.  

"Word has spread since last year's fantastic 'Five Writers' tour sparking requests from readers throughout northern NSW for the 555 creative crew to visit their town," Festival Director, Edwina Johnson, said.

  "The Fab Five have a full coastal itinerary planned that's bound to enthrall and entertain."   For more information phone visit byronwritersfestival.com or phone 02 5622 8900.
