Want to express my deepest thanks to Adelaide Writers' Week for the most extraordinary literary festival. An honor and a delight to be there alongside some of the world's greatest writers as well as thousands of intelligent, engaged, and empathetic readers. Books are not dead!

As it poured with rain here in Cambridge, I thought back to my recent visit to Australia.. first stop was Adelaide and the great and brilliantly democratic Writers Week Adelaide Writers' Week (ended in Sydney via Melbourne). I warn you down under, I'll be back!

Message to all authors. If you ever get a chance to address Adelaide Writers' Week, do not miss it. The brilliant setting, the discerning crowds, the enlightened organisers will give you the best chance to test your ideas. This year was my second. Hope not the last.

.Adelaide Writers' Week it’s a wrap for us for 2024 . We lit fest curators depend on each other for support & collaboration so my best to the excellent festivals to come. As we celebrate #IWD24 the brilliant #AllAboutWomen fest gets underway, all credit to Chip Rolley Sydney Opera House

Never thought that my first guest appearance at a writers' week would be 5:30 in the morning! Then again, it's Adelaide Writers' Week, so how could I miss it? I got my Red Bull and my coffee, ready to rock'n roll. #Cancelled in Australia. Hello Adelaide Writers' Week!

Marr is fascinated by character and contradiction. 'If you don't grasp the contradictions in people and stories, you aren't telling the truth.'

Just got back to a misty morning in Oxford. It seems surreal that a day ago I was in sunny Adelaide. It was a compact but packed 3 days and I so enjoyed chatting to the wonderful@nicholsclaire from ABC’s Book Show and meeting delightful readers throughout Adelaide Writers' Week.
