Joey’s boys attend the 2018 Sydney Writers Festival
We had the great privilege of escorting 30 enthusiastic readers and writers from Year 7 – 11 to attend the 2018 Sydney writers Festival at Carriage works.
According to Robbie Matchett in Year 11 “All the boys who were able to attend thoroughly enjoyed the Sydney Writers’ Festival. We were able to listen to and interact with various authors both local and abroad in this unique experience. The highlight of the day was most definitely getting to hear the different approaches, ideas and perspectives of the speakers and the way in which this broadened our horizons as writers. My personal favourite author was most likely Patrick Ness for his wit and approach to his career and role as a young adult author. I most feel inspired to read “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews after having heard him speak today.”
Authors presenting included: Jesse Andrews , Alison Croggon, Patrick Ness and Kirsty Eagar
