On the 2024 festival, Artistic Director and Founder Corrie Perkin says:
"We thank our 190 speakers. Without their presence, and without the contribution of their ideas, journalism and books, Australia would be a lesser place. They came to our beautiful coastal town ready to talk – and talk they did. And meet their readers, and sign books, and join in discussions. We are blessed to have you as our national literary heroes."
Avenue Bookstore is delighted to announce that we have partnered with Corrie Perkin to host regular Author Events at Toorak/South Yarra library.
