Why Go to Literary Festivals?
I go to literary festivals as a reader AND as a writer to re-charge on the enjoyment of finding a new book , author or genre.
I love getting behind the pages as an author explains their process.
I don't have to apologise for being a readaholic. Books as an addiction for ideas are considered normal at a festival. And I also enjoy the cappucinno approach of ideas over coffee & local nibbles.
Recently I attended the Bendigo Writers' Festival and the program of combining a day for young, school students followed by a weekend for adults, meant meeting versatile authors who wrote for varied age groups and interests.
Young podcasters also interview visiting authors.
