The Countdown to Byron Bay Writers Festival Begins

To add to the anticipation we are thrilled to announce that the 2015 Miles Franklin award winner Sofie Laguna has joined the writers heading to Byron Bay. Her applauded novel The Eye of the Sheep was selected from a shortlist of powerful Australian voices including Joan London who will also be appearing at the Festival. Congratulations to London too who last week won the prestigious Kibble award.unnamed (8)
