I’m doing a few festival appearances over the next few months. First up: Adelaide Writers Week (which is next week):
- Catherine McKinnon and I will be talking about Invented Histories on Saturday
- I’m doing a ‘meet the writer‘ at Dymocks in Rundle Mall on Monday
- I’m chairing a session with Maja Lunde and Harriet McKnight on Tuesday (this one will also be live streamed on the festival’s website)
- Claire G Coleman and I talk about Seeking Refuge on Wednesday
Newcastle Writers Festival is on 6-8 April and I’m doing a couple of sessions on the Saturday:
- Outside the Square, talking about experimental writing with my Kanganoulipo colleagues Julie Koh and Ryan O’Neill
- Crossing Over, a conversation about writing in multiple genres.
Meanwhile, I was utterly delighted to get a six-star (out of five) rating from UK book blogger Simon Savidge. You can watch Simon talk about From the Wreck, and about how he wants to read more Australian authors (send him your books, fellow writers).

I finally bought From the Wreck the other day (late to the party, have been meaning to read it for ages). So looking forward to getting stuck in!

March 2, 2018 at 11:16 amYes, I really liked that too! And made me realise I tend to avoid books with horses and ships, which makes not that much sense. Hope you like the book.

March 2, 2018 at 2:24 pmYou’re a star Jane (6 times over). And an interesting review too – didn’t know about Simon Savidge
Won’t see you in Adelaide but on Wednesday I’ll be at the Wheeler Centre to see/hear Sarah Sentilles talking about ‘Draw Your Weapons’ – thanks to your 2017 recommendations.

March 2, 2018 at 3:26 pmI’m sure you don’t need to be wished luck with public appearances (glad it’s you not me!). I’ve read McKinnon and Coleman, and you of course, and would love to be at your talks, you are all three doing marvellous things mixing speculative and literary fiction.

March 2, 2018 at 3:32 pmThank you! Luck is always welcome.
