I haven’t been able to get to the Williamstown Literary Festival for the last little while, but I’ve just bought my tickets for the 2017 festival (June 17-18) … and you can get yours too at the festival website.
There’s a wide variety of sessions to suit all tastes, but you can probably guess the sessions I’m going to. Authors with links have been reviewed on this blog.
- On Saturday
- Pathways to Writing with Enza Gandolfo and Sherryl Clark.
- Untold Stories: Judith Wright and Dymphna Clark, with Judith Armstrong, Georgina Arnott and Stuart Kells
- The Age of Experience, with Jenny Ackland, Christy Collins and Jane Rawson and Paul Dalgarno
- On Sunday
- Margaret Preston, Recipes for Food and Art, with Georgia Moodie and Lesley Harding
- We’re All Going to Die, with Leah Kamisnki & Bruno Lettieri
- Great Libraries, Food for Heart, Mind and Soul, with Stuart Kells
The cost (earlybird rates) for this great weekend is a mere $62, postage of the tickets included!

Leah Kaminsky is lovely! I chaired her for the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival last year to discuss her wonderful novel ‘The Waiting Room’ – ‘We’re All Going to Die’ had just been published a few days before.

Yes, I heard her talk about The Waiting Room and I was very impressed. Impressed enough to want to go to this even though the timing of this topic is a bit raw for me right now.
