The 2013 Byron Bay Writers Festival program has just been released. I’m looking forward to the festival this year more than ever. There is no finer thing in this world than the combination of blue sky (most years), fine coffee and big ideas that is the BBWF. Below is a list of my sessions as chair and presenter alongside some fascinating writers and here’s the full program. Hope you make it there.
