Reading Matters 2009
Melbourne’s Centre for Youth Literature is offering a great lineup for its 2009 conference, Reading Matters. Details are here but just to whet your appetite, think John Green and M.T. Anderson from the USA, Cathy Cassidy and Mal Peet (UK), Bernard Beckett (NZ) plus many, many great Australian writers for young adults.
Diary date claimer dates are 29 and 30 May (with a Youth Day on 28 May) just as Melbourne is heading into a crisp and lovely winter.
The Reading Matters conference is especially nice as no tough choices have to be made. Everyone shares the two days together, which makes for stimulating conversation during the breaks.
