Australian Society of Authors New Member Night August 17

I’m really looking forward to this – being part of a panel discussion to welcome new members to the ASA.

Event format: Members-only event. Opportunity for new members to socialise and learn about ASA, plus panel of authors and a reading by Ray Koppe Young Writers’ Residency winner Dimitra Harvey.

Panel topic: Authors and money: how authors meet their artistic and financial needs, opportunities that help them do this (grants, fellowships, non-arts work), how the changing nature of publishing is affecting the value and role of the author in society and how this in turn affects an author’s creative practices.

Panelists:

Claire Corbett, Fiona McGregor and Trevor Shearston

Chair: Lynne Spender
