As we get near to the end of the year, things are winding down a bit, but I still have a surprising bit on between now and the end of the year!
This week kicked off with a bang with an in-conversation with the wonderful Rose Searby for Boobook on Owen, in Huskisson. It may be unique for being one of the few venues I’ve done an event at where you can see the ocean from the stage. On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of doing an event with Tim Ayliffe for Sutherland Library – we played question bingo (an idea we ripped of the wonderful Benjamin Stevenson – thanks Ben!). It’s already up on YouTube here. I also had the pleasure last night of speaking with the wonderful Natasha Boyd from Borrowbox. Our chat was beamed out live to libraries and homes around the world, which is pretty cool. The link to watch it isn’t live yet, but it should be up on the BorrowBox YouTube channel soon.
Below is a round-up of what I’ve got confirmed for the rest of the year. If you’d like this info to come to your inbox, don’t forget that you can sign up to my newsletter here.
