The Storygig, Taswriters’ Festival of Children’s/YA Literature –27-28 May 2023
SCBWI TAS presented a strand of the Storygig at Hadleys Hotel, Hobart. Thanks to a $3,500 grant we secured from the WD Booth Charitable Trust, we were able to pay our presenters ASA rates. Our program included a networking session, in which we launched our new creators’ brochure. This was a real blast, thanks to the creative rocket science skills of Fiona Levings and the filmic pyrotechnics of Frances Mackay.
