It was Thursday night and, unlike my usual routine of getting into my pyjamas with a cup of tea and relaxing on the couch, I was getting ready to catch the train into Fed Square to hear Janet Mock deliver her keynote address at Melbourne Writers Festival (MWF).
Melbourne Bookshops You Must Visit
August 30, 2017

Finding Pride in Literature
July 9, 2017
Books are friends. They are company. They are community. As readers, we spend enormous amounts of time with the characters and stories that are written between the pages of our books.
