Brimbank’s upcoming literary festival is promising to be one worth bookmarking, with a jam-packed program featuring author talks, workshops and prose-filled sessions.
The Brimbank Writers and Readers Festival, running from March 13 to 22, will feature 10 days of free events and activities to encourage the writing talent in Brimbank, celebrate diversity and creativity while promoting lifelong learning.
On the opening night, multi award winning artist Kate Ceberano will join freelance writer and journalist Paul Bateman in conversation about her illustrated memoir, Unsung.
It’ll kickstart the beginning of a number of noteworthy sessions including some involving Brimbank local Michelle Bourke, who travelled the world with a cardboard cut-out of her late husband Paul, LGBTQIA+ author Holden Sheppard, and Australian Afro-Caribbean author Maxine Beneba Clarke.
Mayor Thuy Dang said the event was not one to miss.
“There are so many exciting and interesting events at this year’s Brimbank Writers and Readers Festival,” she said.
“There’s something for everyone, including film buffs and foodies.
“Tickets will go fast, so please book as soon as you can.”
