Writers; celebrate, reminisce, remonstrate, illuminate, demystify, enthrall, enrage and educate at this years Byron Bay Writers Festival.
Beautiful weather, fabulous site, challenging ideas, animated discussions, celebrated personalities and laugh out loud piss-takes, these are the building blocks of one of the country’s leading forums of forward thinking and critical review.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Jeff,
There is a book sale, and not much about writing.
Only two women with anything to say?
very disappointed Echo, that your photograps are 99% male????? I wasn’t there but surely the gender balance wasn’t THAT weighted in reality?
Agree with the comment about too few women represented in these pics.
But of the women pictured – Clem Ford asked people to not share photos of her child due to the abuse she consistently cops from the MRA’s.
Photo montage definitely not representative of gender on panels. Very poor choice and very disappointing that the reportage shows such gender bias
Where’s Clementine Ford, Holly Throsby ….
Why is every photograph of a white male??? Sorry, Echo, disappointing montage and not representative of the true diversity of writers.
Look on this page………https://www.echo.net.au/2017/08/writers-wraps-right/
Just about all old boilers…..
Wow this is really sexist and racist. Where are the women and the people of colour?
Please represent the real diversity of talent, not just white males
