26 - 27 Oct: Inaugural South Ak Writers Festival...

I'd like to give a plug for the first South Auckland Writers Festival which will be held in Mangere East 'village' from 26 - 27 Oct 2018. This is very exciting because it's the first ever writers' event for South Auckland writers that I've ever known and it will bring together a lot of interesting people to share their stories and views on writing.

The theme of the festival is: "Words will work" and it's interesting how words on a piece/s of paper can evoke so much emotion, understandings/misunderstandings, different perspectives etc. South Auckland writers groups came up with the concept headed by a passionate lady named Holly and it's now all go with a website, check out www.wordswillwork.com and FB page (just highlight and double-click the hyperlink) www.facebook.com/wordswillwork

There'll be lots of speakers there from various backgrounds and genre. I've been invited to speak and have decided on the theme of writing for generations with children in mind especially regarding passing on important information to them through books. I'll be sharing my journey and hopefully inspiring others to start writing or continue writing etc.

So looks like it's going to be an interesting Festival with only weeks to go, why not check out the website and consider if it's for you...
