About the event

Author Talk: Local indie authors at Wollongong Library
Readers and writers alike will be inspired as local indie authors Helen Carter, John Wegener, Matthew Derbridge and Karen Lane share their creative journeys.

From fantasy to sci-fi, tall tales to true stories, learn about their published works and what it took to create them. You might just leave inspired to write your own!

About Helen Carter
Helen worked in higher education for over 30 years before becoming a children’s author. She will be launching her new book, Noble Twins, a fantastic story for older children, of unexpected bravery, friendship and family.

About John Wegener
Besides running workshops to help other writers get organised, John is a prolific science fiction author. He has published 13 books since he started writing in 2016. John will introduce us to his highly engaging Reach for the Stars series.

About Matthew Derbridge
An amateur magician, with a keen interest in history, Matthew wondered what would happen if you changed key events in the past. The result is his highly creative, world-changing, Immortal Legacy series.

About Karen Lane (Writers Book Camp AUS)
Laugh and cry with Karen, founder of the Writers Boot Camp Australia, as she shares the pleasure and pain of bringing together 17 very different NSW writers to self-publish think laugh cry, their inaugural 2025 Australian short story collection.
