Just back from the Australian Society of Authors Congress in Sydney

It is the fiftieth anniversary of the Australian Society of Authors, the peak body for Australian authors, and they celebrated by holding a Congress (a kind of participatory conference) in Sydney from October 17 to 19. It was an opportunity to meet fellow writers, to share ideas, and to listen to some sage advice from a wide range of authors across a range of genres.

I am going to be lazy and direct you to Natasha Lester's blog "While the Kids are Sleeping" because Natasha has provided a great overview of the Congress here. I caught up with Natasha at the Congress and am hoping to entice her to come and speak at the Book Length Project Group sometime soon.

Loved Sydney. Good to be back home with my head buzzing with ideas and my notebook half full (like the proverbial glass!)
