Life is tough for Elsie Bishop, working in a Sunderland greengrocer's and dreaming of comedy stardom in the male-dominated world of miners' clubs. As she says, everyone needs a moment to be in the light ❤️ Comedian, educator and extraordinary writer Justine Sless has created a jaw-droppingly good novel, Before I Sing You This Song. Set in her home town, you'll laugh and cry and love these characters. Delighted to launch it alongside Angela Savage and Miriam Zolin tonight at 6pm at Readings Hawthorn. Come along and hear Justine read and share how Elsie came to life! 📚 Tickets via Readings Hawthorn. #JustineSless #ReadingsHawthorn #BookLaunch #AustralianFiction

Over a month ago, @womensagenda published my article. The case remains under police investigation, yet the silence is striking. It is the very silence around women and football that I explore in my PhD and novel Siren. #aflw #integritymatters #respectwomen #languagematters #FootballCulture

A suburban affair, a librarian's lyrical language, a grandfather's machinery, a teacup holding time, forever friendships, the thump of new cities...lots of talent in the Tullamarine Writer's group who met on Sat for a Readers Are Writers session at the lovely local library. And a surprise visit from Nicole E. Hughes who drove two hours from the Goulburn Valley to share her new collection of poetry (see pic). She said a RAW workshop a few years ago helped her find confidence and create Rural Pixie Musings, publisher of microfiction. How brilliant. Quote of the day, 'No more writing about sex,' said Peter. Thanks to the wonderful Alessandro and Elizabeth and the friendly library team for a fun morning and for wrestling the photocopier! Public libraries are precious ❤️ #ReadersAreWriters #TullamarineWriters #CreativeWriting #AustralianWriters #WritersCommunity
