Hear lively panel discussions on creativity and the archives, writing about place, and writing about relationships, as well as readings from established and new voices. The inaugural Liz Byrski Lecture will be delivered by Natasha Lester addressing the influence of Liz Byrski’s work on Natasha’s own life and fiction.

Other authors featured include Kim Scott, David Whish-Wilson, Renee Pettitt-Schipp, Tracy Ryan, Chemutai Glasheen, Khin Myint, and many more.
