Neurodiversity Celebration Week seemed like a great time to spruik this event at the Trans Book Festival, which I'm very excited to be a part of!
As of today, the Trans Book Festival is only one month away! You can still buy festival passes, as well tickets to all other TBF 2026 events, at transbookfestival.org.

Following the Bondi terrorism attack and in a misjudged attempt to please Zionists, the Adelaide Writers' Festival "disinvited" Palestinian Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah. Because she's Palestinian.
In the resulting kerfuffle, three board members and the Festival chairperson have resigned, a major sponsor has withdrawn and more than fifty contributors have pulled out of the festival. The latest to cancel is Dame Jacinda Ardern.

Not sure why we, in Australia, can access child sexual abuse material on X/Twitter, but can’t hear from a Palestinian writer at a writers festival.

Writers: how long since you went to a writers/readers/literary festival? I've just returned from one and have popped up the first of a series of blog posts about the experience. This one is about all the benefits writers receive from attending. The next post will be about how to get the most from attending. And then one on what you can do to get an invite to one! Plus I'll do a highlights post as the festival was fantastic and the impact on me/for me next level. https://annafeatherstone.com/what-are-the-benefits-for-writers-who-attend-writers-festivals/
