Well it’s nearly time to pack my bags for the big Syd-Perth Supanova trip. Must say I’m looking forward to it! Below are the author guests for both legs, snitched from the Supanova magazine – and it will be great to catch up with a lot of friends. So pleased to how the author presence has blossomed thanks to Ineke, Daniel and Dymock’s interest in bringing us in.
Well, as you will have seen from the flurry of Twitter and FB posts, I had a terrific time at Writefest. My workshops were well attended, and more importantly, the attendees were enthusiastic and ready to participate (even in the toilet paper game!). I ate fantastic nasi goreng and pizza, had a beautiful ocean view and got to do lots of book talk. Sandy, Cherie, Di and all the committee were amazing, and I’d like to give a special shout out to Dean Anderson who both sponsors the event and is a member of the Bundy Writers group. You are a true patron of the Arts :)
I was also fortunate to have an event at the beautiful Bundy library, quite possibly the most impressive library I’ve ever stepped foot in.
