Welcome to the Rosalie Writers Festival Blog!

We – that’s us, the organisers – are very excited about having a blog on the Festival site, because it means you can publish your opinions, thoughts and ideas, and your friends can comment on them.

It’s like a conversation between lots of people, with opportunities to show off your writing skills!

We’ve asked the presenters to publish blog posts as well – so you can comment on those too. A couple of them have already promised to, so keep an eye out for those.

And get your mum, dad, gran, brother, sister, dog to send in posts as well. This site is all about the Rosalie writing community so everyone is welcome.

To get your blog post published, type it into an email and send the email to jane@rosaliewriters.com.

To comment on someone else’s blog post, just click on the comments link below it and type straight into the space that appears on the website. When you submit your comment, wait a while and you’ll see it appear below the blog post when you ‘click to view’.

Blog posts and comments may take up to a day to appear – depending on how quick we are at publishing them.

If you’ve got any questions, just use the contact form on this website.

    Hi Jane
    Yesterday we went to the Literature Centre. I had a great time! We got to see Mark Greenwood & Frane Lessac. I bought some books & I liked Mark’s new book about Simpson & his Donkey. He told us how he researched his book.
    Frane told us how to illustrate a donkey. I have never been to a Writers Festival before & I can’t wait to meet lots of authors & illustrators.
    We had lunch at Cicerello’s yesterday & it was so fun because it was out on a dock beside the ocean.
