The Reading Matters conference in Melbourne in May was FANTASTIC.
Not only did I get to speak, which was very nerve racking, but I also got to meet a host of brilliant writers, many of whom I've worshipped from afar.
Having 'taught' Mal Keep's novel Keeper to Year Nine several times it was a buzz getting to meet him and listen to him speak.

Thanks to all the great people who took the time out to speak to me and thanks to Mike, Lili www.liliwilkinson.com/ and the team at the State Library for your hospitality and professionalism. I had a ball!
