In conversation with Claire Van Ryn and Annette Higgs - Writing Family, History and the Tasmanian Landscape
Peppers Silo Launceston

Description
Writing Family, History and the Tasmanian Landscape
The Tasmanian landscape is rich with stories. Its mountains and coastlines, trees and rocks speak powerfully into the literary space, as do the people who have walked its soil. Penguin prize-winning author Annette Higgs (On A Bright Hillside in Paradise) and author and former journalist Claire van Ryn (The Secrets of the Huon Wren) join to discuss how family, history and the Tasmanian landscape drive their fiction writing.
Join us for this pre-festival event, a taster to our full program on October 11-14.
