We will be having a book stall at the Gymea Village Fair, this Sunday 29th October where we will be selling the books of all the presenters from this year's festivals.
We will also be holding a raffle with some wonderful prizes including a camcorder, a pack of Glee CD's and many books by our fantastic Aussie authors, some of which have been signed. We will also be selling tickets to the festival so come down and see us and grab your ticket while you're there.

I regret to announce that Dianne Bates will no longer be appearing at either our Adult or Children's Festivals this year. However, her sessions will go on as planned with some very exciting additions to our list of presenters.
To take Di's storytelling session at our Children's Festival we welcome the wonderful oral storyteller, Lillian Rodrigues Pang. I have been lucky enough to have been in the audience for one of Lillian's sessions and she is a vibrant, entertaining storyteller who is sure to have the children enthralled. Our newest addition to the Pitch Your Manuscript panel is Judith Ridge. Judith has extensive knowledge of the Australian literary scene, having been an editor, journalist, bookseller and reviewer. She also teaches a popular writing course at the Sydney Writer's Centre and has presented at many writers' festivals including the Sydney Writer's Festival. Though very sorry that Di can no longer make it, we are delighted to have both Lillian and Judith appearing our Festival. This Saturday, 22nd October, we will be having a stall at the Grays Point P.S Octoberfest. There will be an obstacle course and toffee eating competitions for the kids with some great book prizes and we will be selling raffle tickets with a Camcorder and some autographed books as prizes for the adults. Hope to see you there!
We are holding a Fundraising BBQ this Sat 8th Oct from 10am - 2pm outside the Sutherland Superbarn (on the corner of President Ave, across from the train station). We'll also be selling festival tickets and raffle tickets with some great signed books and a camcorder as prizes.If you're in the area, drop by and say hi.
