DEBUT MONDAYS, THE WHEELER CENTRE — BOOKS, WRITING AND IDEAS
176 Lit­tle Lons­dale Street, Mel­bourne
6pm, 15th Feb­ru­ary 2010

Read­ers are spoilt for choice: book­shops are over­flow­ing with the great, the good (and the rest), and it could not be harder to choose what to read next. And let’s face it, a first-time local writer isn’t guar­an­teed of a guest spot on Rove, or the high-profile national tour.

Every fort­night, let DEBUT MONDAYS be your guide. Come and have a glass of wine and dis­cover the best new writ­ers around.

Under the spot­light for our kick-off event: Bob Franklin’s col­lec­tion of lit­er­ary hor­ror sto­ries, Under Stones, Andrew McDonald’s YA romp The Great­est Blog­ger in the World, Sofie Laguna’s Miles Franklin-longlisted One Foot Wrong and Our Girls, Madeleine Hamilton’s explo­ration of 40s and 50s Aus­tralian pinup girls. See more here.

I can also be booked for school vis­its. I talk about writ­ing, blog­ging, being a com­puter nerd and the role of the mod­ern day author on the inter­net. And I dis­cuss how the inter­net can be used for writ­ing, read­ing and shar­ing con­tent within online communities.
