Response to InReview and Fleurieu Sun.

As a writer and book lover myself, I know how important it is to find inspiration, support, workshops and a network of fellow writers to develop my craft.
What a thrill then to see this fantastic program of events in the south, offering local writers and readers, and those from further afield, the chance to learn, develop their writing, and meet likeminded new people throughout 2024.
I’m also excited about the impact the festival could have in building up Onkaparinga’s writing community, including through the Mayor’s Poetry and Writing Competition later this year.
Who knows, maybe Wordfest could help unearth Australia’s next big bestseller or major literary award winner?
