On the 24th and 25th of April, the Newcastle Writers Festival will be holding their inaugural Emerging Writers Program “Fresh Ink”. This mini weekend festival is packed with great sessions on getting started with writing, juggling writing with parenting, memoir, launching a first book during the pandemic, publishing, the agent relationship, and the session I’ll be hosting, “Taking Risks” – how writes navigate the personal and the political, with the amazing Shu-Ling Chua, Bri Lee, and Omar Sakr. Tickets are free (!) but must be booked in advance. Go here to see the full program and book:
