Where do creative ideas come from? How do you keep drafting when it seems like there’s no end in sight? What is it like to take a small kernel of an idea and watch it grow into a novel that is shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award? Join award-winning author Favel Parrett for an intimate conversation and writer’s advice. She will discuss creativity and her work, including her new novel There was Still Love. Refreshments provided.
