The Greek-Australian Writers’ Festival returns for its 4th year. Some time last year, I volunteered to help out at the festival, and due to some other short-term work I was conducting at the time, ended up as the Deputy Director of the Festival. Over the next day or so, I will be posting some reviews of the authors and their books who will be presented at the festival.

For those of you who live in close vicinity to Sydney, come to Little Bay on Sunday for a day of reading and writing centring on Greek-Australian perspectives as well as Australian stories with Greek themes. We have 12 authors and 3 book launches. Tickets include lunch so book ahead! https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1347314
