Salisbury Writers' Festival 2016 Program

2016 Salisbury

Writers’ Festival 19 August - 28 August 2016

From the Mayor It’s that wonderful time of year again, when I have the honour of presenting the Salisbury Writers’ Festival Program.

Words can inspire and entertain. They can make readers laugh, cry, contemplate and even change their views of the world and their place in it.

But for an author – this emotional rollercoaster can be amplified as he or she searches their subconscious, puts their creativity and imagination to the test, or relives some of the most memorable moments of their life.

The creative process can be both exciting and daunting.

And it’s one of the reasons I’m so proud each year to release the Salisbury Writers’ Festival Program.

The City of Salisbury is dedicated to providing our community and others with the avenues to seek new possibilities, develop talents and share knowledge. The Salisbury Writers’ Festival does just that. It provides fantastic learning, sharing and networking opportunities, including the chance to meet and learn from some of the best Australian writers in the business.

So whether you are a budding author, literary enthusiast, seasoned writer or just have a passion for the written word, I invite you to take part in this year’s fabulous Salisbury Writers’ Festival.

Mayor Gillian Aldridge JP

Opening Night Friday 19 August 6.30pm John Harvey Gallery 12 James Street, Salisbury Bookings essential FREE event Join us for a jam-packed Salisbury Writers’ Festival opening and awards evening, with a keynote address by Callum Hann and Themis Chryssidis.

Callum and Themis will kick off the Salisbury Writers’ Festival by talking about the journey to publishing their new book Quick. Easy. Healthy.

The evening will conclude with the announcement of the winners of the Salisbury Writers’ Festival competitions.

Callum Hann and Themis Chryssidis: Following Callum’s success as runner-up on the 2010 series of MasterChef, Callum and Themis established Sprout Cooking School.

In 2012, Callum won the inaugural series of MasterChef All-Stars and published his first cookbook The Starter Kitchen. His next book, I’d Eat That! was released in 2014 and in 2016 Callum and Themis co-released their first book Quick. Easy. Healthy.

“If you want to grow, you need to get out. Most of the work of writing is done in a dark room, hunched over a keyboard.

It’s not romantic and it sucks some days, but you have to do it if you want to be a writer. Festivals like the one at Salisbury let you get away from that for a while and connect you to other people. They help you share your stories, and hear other people tell theirs. They help you get a feel for what you like and what you don’t, and hear about opportunities.”

Who makes the decisions?

Publishing is a commercial business. Once, there was room for ‘passion projects’-stories publishers fell in love with knowing they would never sell thousands of copies. Now, tried and tested marketing data rules the roost. How do Acquisition Editors and Sales & Marketing teams fight it out behind the scenes and what exactly is a commercially viable product?
