- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 am
- **Event Description**: The Lussh Literally Lunch is back! ? 

After a sold-out event in 2025, we're bringing you a brand new author panel and lunch event with 'One Is The Loneliest Number', as guests from around Australia discuss the joys and challenges of writing collaboratively.

The act of writing is often imagined as solitary. A single author, a single voice. But what magic emerges when that voice becomes a chorus? In this illuminating panel, we explore the art and intimacy of collaboration with authors who write, edit, and dream together.

Panellists include: Ali Berg &amp; Michelle Kalus, Louisa Duval &amp; Allison A. Andrews, Melanie Saward &amp; Kate Cuthbert, moderated by Ally Blake.

? Saturday 14 February - 1pm
? Dendy Cinemas Coorparoo, Coorparoo Square - Brisbane

?️ Tickets on sale now at blusshromancefestival.com/program/lussh-literary-lunch. 

? Lussh Literary Lunch tickets include a delicious lunch bowl and beverage to enjoy during the panel.

This event sold out in 2025 so book your tickets early!


MEET THE PANEL:
? Ali Berg and Michelle Kalus, co-authors, professional book ninjas and Books on the Rail founders, who turned friendship into fiction and continue to slay with contemporary stories celebrating love.

? Louisa Duval and Allison A. Andrews bring warmth and wit to their beloved Hot and Frosty Christmas and Coming Home for Christmas anthologies.

? In July 2025, Magabala Books announced a call for submissions for a First Nations romance anthology, to be edited by Ambelin Kwaymullina, Dr Melanie Saward and Dr Kate Cuthbert. The editors wrote of the anthology, ‘we hope to explore the unique intersection of genre romance and love through First Nations storytelling; we hope to find new voices and rediscover familiar favourites; and we hope to showcase the creativity and artistry of the genre and its writers. In short, we hope to fall in love.’ We are thrilled to have two of the editors on this panel joining us. Dr Melanie Saward, a proud Bigambul and Wakka Wakka woman, and Dr Kate Cuthbert, publishing director and genre fiction advocate.

? Bringing it all together and moderating this very special discussion is bestselling author Ally Blake. An award-winning author of over 50 warm, wistful, whimsical romance novels, with more than 4 million copies of her books sold around the world. In 2026, Ally will release not one, but two, co-written books with Michelle Douglas and Kandy Shepherd.
