Information ...

We're compiling information about Sydney's best bookshops, libraries, talks, and much more to do with books and writing. In the meantime, here are a few snippets you might find interesting.

 2005 National Young Writers' Festival  Held in Newcastle over the October long weekend, NYWF is a gathering of young and innovative writers working in new and traditional forms. There are workshops, discussions, readings, launches and lots of opportunities to see and hear work by emerging writers in a festival atmosphere. See the program on their website. 29 September to 3 October.   (.. Festival Program ..)

 Brisbane Writers Festival  Brisbane Writers Festival is on this year from Thursday 29 September to Sunday 2 October 2005   (.. Festival website ..)

 Classic Australian Works  Some of Australia's more significant out-of-print classics can now be ordered and purchased online.
The books are published by Sydney University Press using an on-demand system and it takes about a week for an order to be despatched. This initiative gives you a great opportunity to buy your own copy of Lantana Lane (Eleanor Dark), Letters to Live Poets (Bruce Beaver), Landscape with Landscape (Gerald Murnane) or one of the other twenty titles available.   (.. Sydney University Press website ..)
