Litlink Manuscript Consultations with Peter Bishop
Thank you to everyone who attended the LitLink Manuscript Consultations in Bathurst and Orange at the end of 2007 and thank you to staff at Bathurst Regional Council for providing a centrally located venue. The consultations were almost fully booked out so it is great to know so many people are working on writing projects. Each year Arts NSW funds the NSW LitLink Program, providing exciting professional development opportunities for regional NSW writers. Consultations are expected to be held at the end of 2008. And we also appreciate Peter Bishop, Director of Varuna – The Writers’ House, for his time, support and encouragement.
