The Brisbane Writers Festival (Sep. 30 - Oct. 3, 2004)
The theme for this year’s Festival in Brisbane is one of re-birth and re-imagination. After all, what is it that we writers do? We take core stories, and rework them, all in our individual ways. With most of the events held being free of charge, this indie-feel festival is sure to be a hit, just like it was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that... Well you get the picture. For more information see: http://www.brisbanewritersfestival.com.au/.
The National Young Writer’s Festival (Oct. 5 - 9, 2004)
