11th Annual Booklovers Festival Finale: Meet Sarah Bailey

Yarra Plenty Regional Library

Event Date: 21 September 2019
Author / Presenters: Sarah Bailey

This event is part of the 11th Annual Booklovers Festival

We return to the past in order to make a present and a future. And this is certainly true for writers. Award-winning and bestselling author Sarah Bailey will close the Booklovers Festival with a special conversation that covers her motivation for creating her compelling Detective Gemma Woodstock series (The Dark Lake, Into the Night and Where the Dead Go). She will explore her creative process, influences and what it means to be able to tell stories. Sarah will share readings from authors who have inspired her as a writer as well as read from her own work.

In partnership with Bolinda Publishing
