The Byron Bay Writers Festival is a great place to go if you are interested in writing. Famous authors from around the world and Australia give talks about writing, discuss important issues and have workshops on how to write. It is a great chance to improve your listening skills and become involved in a community event. Go along to one of the sessions or buy a ticket for 1- 3 days. www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au for more details or see Siobhan.
