I really, really love writers’ festivals.
In 2009 I have moderated, been on panels, or performed at Adelaide’s Format Festival, Melbourne’s Emerging Writers’ Festival (for which I am on the Programme Advisory Committee), the Newstead Short Story Tattoo, Melbourne Writers Festival, Melbourne’s Overload Poetry Festival, the Ubud Writers’ and Readers’ Festival in Bali, and the National Young Writers’ Festival in Newcastle. If you’re a festival organiser interested in having me, please drop me a line at literaryminded (at) gmail (dot) com. I love to talk about Aussie lit, debut novelists, Gen Y stuff, technology and the interwebs, blogging, and more.
To send me books and other media for review please email me first (subject: LiteraryMinded). I often have a large pile of books but am always happy to answer your enquiries. I am interested in reading anything, but enjoy supporting Australian fiction, small press, and young writers.
NOTE: I will not plug your material, all reviews will be fair yet honest.
