I know I'm already booked in to several of these, so if you're attending any leave a comment and maybe we can have an impromptu, unofficial meet up!

OMG SO MANY EVENTS. Its like Melbourne Writers Fest all over again :|

I'm not going to the Helen Garner event at Broadside (I've seen her quite a few times before), but am coming over to see a few other Broadside events that weekend if anyone else is going!

OMG YAY! I will be there will bells. Cannot wait for an entire weekend of completely unapologetic feministing!

I’ll be at the Helen Garner talk for Broadside, but I couldn’t make any of the others :(

Yay, we should meet up, Emily! I'm going to about 7 or 8 sessions in total, I think. Wanted to get a weekend pass but they sold out before I got around to it!

I'm working for Neighbourhood books all weekend (yay - thanks Leesa!!!) but we should definitely grab a coffee/lunch. Shoot me a DM on Insta and lets coordinate closer to the day :)

Broadside is making me VERY envious! Would've considered coming down, but I have a Conference in Adelaide. Will be following along vicariously!

NEW EVENTS!

Melbourne friends, get on these:

Bri Lee is one of a panel of activists and authors on the topic of beauty at Wheeler Centre 25th November.
