Mykaela Saunders will be appearing at Kyogle Writers Festival. Photo supplied.
The theme for the inaugural festival is ‘Country’. It will take place in the NSW Northern Rivers town of Kyogle, on the traditional lands of the Bundjalung and Gidhabal peoples, between 14 and 16 May.
Over forty writers are participating (including novelists, short-story writers, poets, non-fiction writers, local historians and song writers).
The festival programme includes conversations with authors, panel discussions on topics such as Indigenous writing (anchored by Daniel Browning, host of RN’s
Awaye! Indigenous arts and culture programme), writing in a time of climate change, and poetry readings.
