General Admission
60 Mins
August
Chair: Jane Sullivan
Panellists: Dr Katherine Kovacic, Sarah Krasnostein, J P Pomare
When Helen Garner, one of Australia’s finest writers, published her first non-fiction book, The First Stone, she was later to comment wryly:
‘People in the grip of a primal response to the very existence of a book will read it….between the narrow blinkers of anger and fear’.
Included in this discussion will be the various responses by their subjects, the legal profession, the general reader and the news media, and how that has shaped our authors experiences in writing about crime.
How do writers become familiar with police procedures, legal matters, publishers expectations, and how much do they welcome critics and readers comments?
This session is included in the Gold and Silver Festival Passes.
