As Write Around the Murray 2016 drew to a close, all that
was left was to reflect upon a fantastic weekend of inspired seminars, interviews,
panel discussions and interesting conversations with even more interesting
people. Having come in to the festival with slight apprehension about being out
of my depth, not having been actively involved in creative writing for a number
of years, this was blown out of the water on the first day in the way the
content was handled and organised by Sue, our fantastic tutor (no brown-nosing
here).
Despite sending out thanks in each one of my previous posts
I still feel compelled to give a final thanks to all involved in the
construction and organisation of Write Around the Murray 2016. Thanks again to all
of the fantastic authors that gave up their time to deconstruct the notion of ‘Unsettling’,
the event organisers (especially the tireless co-ordinator Ann-Maree Ellis), my
fellow students and session attendees for some fascinating discussion and of
course our tutor Sue Gillett, who by all accounts doesn’t actually sleep during
a writer’s festival! I look very much forward to seeing as many of you as
possible at Write Around the Murray 2017 for another weekend of vibrant discussion.
