Last Friday, our Year 12 English Literature classes attended two sessions at Adelaide Writers' Week. The first was presented by Dr Anita Heiss and Dr Jared Thomas, who spoke about the importance of truth telling and 'own voices' literature. The second session was presented by Amie Kaufmann and Lili Wilkinson.

Reflections from Angelina (12CHEL):

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Adelaide Writers' Week and hear several sessions delivered by renowned authors. My favourite was 'On Writing Fantasy with Amie Kaufmann and Lili Wilkinson', who spoke about the art of writing young adult fantasy. Their ideas really resonated with me, as it was extremely interesting to hear how fantasy stories are created and the process it takes to make a whole new world. I truly believe this was a wonderful and insightful experience and answered a lot of questions younger me would have.
