Just received confirmation that I will be leading a workshop at the Faithwriters Down Under Conference in Sydney on Saturday 9 October. Very exciting! (The pic above is of a group that I led at the Alpha to Omega Literary Convention in Brisbane back in 2007 – or was it 2006? My memory is a little fuzzy!). The full program should go live on the website by the end of next week at www.faithwriters.com.
Closer to home – I will also be teaching a class about writing for magazines at the Word Writers Fair right here in my hometown of the Redlands (next to Brisbane) on 6 November. Although it is a Christian writing festival, not all sessions are specifically Christian and there is heaps for aspiring writers of various genres to enjoy – find out more at www.wordwriters.com.
Has anybody else been thinking about going to the Brisbane Writers Festival, which is 1 – 5 September? The full progam has been released, there were one or two things I was interested in but at $75 a pop – and on a workday – there’s just no way that I can make it. Have to admit that 95% of the program just doesn’t interest me at all. Not sure why. Is it because I’m a Christian? Or that fiction / poetry etc seem to be the focus?

Maybe we will just have to start praying about having one! A Footprints conference on the West Coast? What do you think?!

I presented a session at the Faithwriters conference 2 or 3 years ago. I had lots of fun and it was great meeting many of the members in person, face-to-face.
