The countdown is almost over! This Saturday night (February 5) Perth will kick off Literature Live Around the World, a live-stream festival uniting 12 countries for six non-stop hours of literary inspiration.

Writing WA worked with LitFestBergen and other global writing organisations to create the program, which you can view at this link from 9pm (AWST).

As promoted this week in The West Australian, Perth’s contribution to the 2022 event will feature WA author Michelle Johnston in conversation with ABC Book Show host Claire Nichols about Johnston’s highly praised debut novel Dustfall.

Be sure to tune in to this unique international event.
