Actress and Bestselling author Judy Nunn will be launching my new book at this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival. I was lucky enough to work with Jude for a number of years on TV series Home and Away. She was a real guiding light for us whippersnappers on the show and I’m excited that she’ll be launching my book.
I’m also really looking forward to a session I’m chairing with director Bruce Beresford, film critic David Stratton, actor William McInnes and Malaysian Chaser-style filmmaker, Kam Raslan.
Byron is a fest that I’ve attended a bunch of times and long-dreamed of being involved with. I’ve seen dozens of fantastic and inspiring writers speak there over the years.
If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you there. The sessions I’ll be involved with are below and the full fest guide is at www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au
