Novel Ideas

Join host Janis Mackay and students from her 2025 Novel Writing Course as they read from their works in progress.

All the students have been working on novels, and this informal gathering is an opportunity to hear authors read their work and speak a little about their writing process. An ideal afternoon event for people who love novels, and who are interested in the process of writing one!

Featuring Eleanor Bell, Gill Bowman, Kath Bruce, Rosy Burgess, Rona Edington, Catherine Higgins, Traci Mackie, Sheila Massaba, James Spence and Sarah Tunney.
