I guess when most policy makers have holiday homes in Margret river area. Its the one town I hope gets levelled by a natural disaster....
"The festival began in 2009 and has grown significantly since 2017, when Tourism WA committed to ongoing funding for Arts Margaret River, the community organisation that runs the event."

A fine day out at Eumundi! It was my first event of this kind and I met some lovely authors. I brought up a few of my Gaelic dictionaries as a talking point, and they went down pretty well.

I'm in Eumundi for the writers festival 🔥
I've got my Pride Ibis pin on (created by Jesse Irwin Art) and am having a quick sit down before my Meet the Authors event starts at 1.30pm. A curious noisy minor decided to join me.

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In the resulting kerfuffle, three board members and the Festival chairperson have resigned, a major sponsor has withdrawn and more than fifty contributors have pulled out of the festival.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.

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/
