Page-Turner Alert: Beach Book Boutique Selected as Official Festival Bookshop

Earlier this year The Whitsundays Writers Festival excitedly announced 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’s owner Belinda Harris is very excited for the festival:

“We are looking forward to having a great weekend with the festival, meeting like-minded people and some amazing authors – including our local writers!”

The Beach Book Boutique will offer a curated selection of titles from both the esteemed speakers at the festival and notable local authors. In addition to providing a diverse array of books, the Boutique will host engaging meet-and-greet sessions and book signings, giving attendees the opportunity to interact with their favourite authors.

For added convenience, a smaller branch of the bookshop will be set up at various Festival venues, ensuring that festival-goers have easy access to their favourite reads and can participate in the exciting book-related events throughout the festival.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Belinda and Beach Book Boutique as our official Festival Bookshop. The festival is committed to engaging local businesses and to showcasing what the Whitsundays has to offer,” said Festival President, Karen Jacobsen.

Beach Book Boutique is a hub for local authors and books about the Whitsundays, offering regular book signings and promotional activities throughout the year.
