The Byron Bay Writers Festival (August 5-8) program has officially been released and, for anyone keen on literary love-ins, I am participating in four sessions:

“Suburban Mayhem: Characters on the Edge” (Senior Secondary Students)
Thursday, August 5
12.30-1.15pm
Macquarie Marquee

“From Manuscript to Market: Getting My Book on the Shelf”
Friday, August 6
9.00-10.00am
SCU Marquee

“KINDLING LAUNCH”
Friday, August 6
4.00-5.00pm
Launchpad

“Keeping It Real versus Going Too Far: Writing Young Adult Fiction”
Sunday, August 8
12.15-1.15pm
ABC3 Marquee

The big one, of course, is the Kindling launch Friday eve.  For my Aussie pals, would love to see a whole mob of you there.  For my Canuck friends, I’ll pay for your copy if you make it Down Under.
