The glorious Jo Canham and her team put on such a very special festival. Fascinating panels with brilliant writers and very appreciative audiences in a beautiful location. It certainly achieved its aim of being a weekend, &#8220;<em>where real connections are made, friends are found, and the writerly community is strengthened \/ reinforced &#8220;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special thank you to RWR McDonald for being such a thoughtful and entertaining host. It was so much fun to share a panel with the fabulous Maya Linell and Ellie O\u2019Neill. I met so many wonderful authors, some of whom I hope will become proper friends. Somehow Jo created such an inclusive, warm festival. And the showbags were an unexpected, wonderful treat! I hope no KidLitVic presenters are reading this, as I\u2019ll have to raise the standard a bit! A lanyard and free pens don\u2019t quite cut it in comparison.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you missed out on this festival or just wish to relive it, some sessions are available to stream here. And get ready to go to next year\u2019s. I\u2019ll be back! I had a brilliant time!!! It really was a three exclamation mark experience. *Check out RWR\u2019s insta for photos of the most disdainful looking cat ever. She really has the \u2018she who must be obeyed\u2019 look down pat. It\u2019s hilarious.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2671\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/?attachment_id=2671\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4235\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2671\" width=\"373\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4235-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2670\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/?p=2670&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2670\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/?p=2670&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/?p=2670&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/?p=2670\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-2670\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alisonreynolds.com.au\/?p=2670&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was such an honour to be part of this wonderful weekend in one of my favourite places.
