What’s hilariously funny and poignantly tender, written by an award-winning Wakefieldian, and about to be a big Christmas seller?

This guy! Launching as part of Feast Festival next Tuesday, with music by Triptick and wines by our very favourite sponsors, Fox Creek, Fables Queer and Familiar is one of our big (little) books for this summer. Written by the always-wonderful Margaret Merrilees, who’s been shortlisted left, right and centre for The First Week, and adapted from her online serial Adelaide Days (which has already got an enormous following), Fables is pitch-perfect. Read more here (and put your name down to grab a copy when they come in!), and we’ll see you all on Tuesday!

It’s a tough life …

Oh dear LORD what a crazy few days it’s been!

Adelaide Writers’ Week kicked off on Saturday, with sessions including big names such as Booker Prize-winner Eleanor Catton, superstar newbie Hannah Kent and Wakefield Press’s very own Philip Jones (yes, you can get the book here!).

Meanwhile, Charlotte did an amazing job putting together a day of food, wine and beautiful locations for the Visiting International Publishers program. We visited SA’s gorgeous McLaren Vale wine region, and everyone had an excellent day. A highlight? Definitely getting to hang out with our sponsors at Fox Creek — these guys are amazing, and so is their wine. Thank you for having us!

A big thanks too to Coriole Vineyards and the Star of Greece, and of course Australia Council for organising the program. All up, a perfect McLaren Vale day.

Now we just have the tough choices of the final two weeks of the Festival ahead of us. Which sessions to visit during the last two days of Writers’ Week? To purchase a one-day WOMAD pass, or go all out for the whole weekend? Which world class theatre event to attend?

Decisions, decisions …
