Literary Afternoon Tea: Women in Fiction – The Force Awakens!

The Stratford Shakespeare Festival invites readers and writers to join six published authors for an afternoon of literary treats.

Three bestselling Australian authors in conversation about the ever-changing face of publishing, the rising popularity of female-centred fiction, and what it takes to be a published author today.

About the Authors:

Lisa Ireland is the author of eight novels and numerous short stories. A former teacher, she now works as a writing coach and mentor. She loves eating but not cooking, is an Olympic class coffee drinker, and minion to a rather large dog.

Kerryn Mayne is an author, former wedding photographer, and current police officer. When not at work attempting to solve crime, she is writing about it or preparing an endless stream of snacks for her four children.

Kylie Ladd is a novelist, psychologist and freelance writer. Her seven novels have been published in Australia and overseas. Kylie holds a PhD in neuropsychology and lives in Melbourne with her husband, one and a half children and a poorly trained dachshund.
