All Booked Out is a book fest designed for readers, writers, authors and those interested in the indie publishing industry. With an author market, kids' corner, panels, readings and a book swap on offer, All Booked Out is designed to be a haven for all things books.

Taking place in the heart of winter, All Booked Out celebrates the stories and local authors that keep our hearts warm. With the theme of 'Themes We Orbit' threaded through the event, authors and attendees are invited to explore the ideas, thoughts, dreams and fantasies they just can't ignore.

Coven Press is a self-publishing services business, headed up by four local women, all fellow creatives themselves. Offering editing, design, formatting and marketing services, Coven Press guides writers from blank page to book launch.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
