Auckland Writers and Readers Festival, day 2
So we continue the apparently mammoth task of writing up a few sessions of the writer's festival. I really am a master at procrastination.
Saturday, May 14
Publishing Panel
( This was an interesting session. )
After the publishing panel I went to Auckland Uni, where an extra event was being held, called the Wordy Day Out. This was very YA-focussed, and there were lots of kids there. I found that very cool, since my younger constantly-reading self would have spun right out at having my favourite authors right there and able to answer all my questions.
Garth Nix and Sean Williams
( These men have written about a million books between them )
Karen Healey and David Hair
( I kind of love Karen Healey after seeing her at the festival, and Guardian of the Dead is a great book )
Paula Morris
( Paula Morris is another charming woman )
So there's Saturday. One more day to go, which I'll hopefully get written up before the 1-month anniversary of the festival taking place, sigh.
