Opinion: Lit Fest Madness

The 2023 Adelaide Writers Week has been a lot in the news lately, but not for good reasons. The event has been criticised at two authors appearing at the event, which has seen some authors pull out and some sponsors question their dedication. What caused this fallout to happen?

Adelaide Writer’s Week 2023

We are reaching that wonderful time of the year again: Adelaide Writer’s Week. To celebrate, here are some authors here that I am excited for appearing at this year's event!
