Adventures At The Perth Writers Festival - Saturday #PWF #PerthFest
Some Tweets from attending sessions at the Perth Writers Festival, 2013.
- My first session for the day (rather late in the day) was "A Window Into Our Past", featuring Jared Diamond and Tom Holland.
How to tell it's #PWF at UWA? People run at the end of one session to get books signed, before dashing off to next. http://pic.twitter.com/OTlfhiglyB

Jared Diamond: "That's his LITERAL name?? 'digital cuttlefish'??' @cuttlefishpoet ;)- Then I dashed across town in order to attend the evening show at the Perth Concert Hall.
- The Margaret Atwood interview, conducted by ABC TV's Jennifer Byrne, will feature on Channel 2 at the end of May.
