THE launch for the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Writers Festival was held at the Nambour Library (August 2) which aims to promote collaboration in the literary industry.
Community organisations including I Am Nambour, Nambour Chamber of Commerce, and Maleny Chamber of Commerce have partnered with Sunshine Coast Council to create this new event.
The festival, which will be held in Nambour, Mapleton, Montville and Maleny from October 11-13, will target an array of different hinterland business venues and locations with a program jam-packed with something for everyone.
Key authors and contributors involved in the program include Candice Fox, Lynette Noni, Georgia Harper, Ali K Mulford, Ben Hobson, Melissa Ashley, Heidi Merika, Peter Carnavas, Andrew Stanton, Nardi Simpson, Jack Roney, and Karen McKinley.
While from Sunshine Coast Showdown there will be Dan Munday and Jon Coghill.
Additional special guests will be announced in the lead-up to the event. From how to publish a cookbook, to second-hand book fair events to book signings, writers’ panels and how to make a book into a movie script, there is something for everyone whether you are into crime, romance, fantasy, or other genres.
Rosetta Books owner and event coordinator, Lea Dodd, said Rosetta Books is delighted to participate in this inspiring festival.
Get set for a weekend of good food, good wine and literature. Readers and writers of all ages welcome.
