Curating the Big Weekend of Books

This is my fourth year as the curator for this festival. It was two days of wall-to-wall conversations from great authors from around Australia and around the world.

From poetry to romance novels, non-fiction to cooking, literary fiction to short stories, we had Pulitzer Prize winners alongside new and established voices. Powerful conversations were had about everything from First Nations concepts of history and time, to the act of translation, why we love reading rom-coms and truth-telling in the media.

You can catch up on all the sessions over the ABC RN webpage or the ABC Listen App.
