Following this at 4pm will be a free author’s chat held by memoir author Ann Jones, whose book Put the Billy On won the 2008 IP Picks Best Creative Non-Fiction Award. Jones’ book focuses on growing up before and during World War II in the Gulf Country of Far North Queensland. In partnership with the Queensland Narrating Service, IP has also produced an audio version of the book, read by renown Brisbane actor Kaye Stevenson. Ann will discuss the tricks of the trade in turning personal stories into narratives that can engage wider audiences.

To compliment this talk, David Reiter will speak about the risks involved with using real life experiences as the basis for creative writing. He will use his own book, Primary Instinct - a brash expos̩ of the education system Рas a case study.
