THE Australian Short Story Festival takes over Notre Dame’s Tannock Hall from November 22-24, bringing together 40 local, national and international authors.
The festival, which is being shared with Adelaide, will have three days of workshops, panel discussions, readings and live music.
It kicks off with a day of writing workshops followed by a gala opening in the courtyard at 10 Cliff Street in Fremantle where the evening celebrates Aussie icons Kylie Minogue, Nick Cave and Paul Kelly and the stories their songs inspire.
Two giants of the literary world will be joining the festival by Zoom; multiple award-winning Scottish writer Carys Davies and Australian-born San Franciscan Fiona McFarlane.
The festival ties off with a fun-filled literary debate between sharp-minded and sharp-tongued writers from around Australia.
Midalia is festival director and says the short form of writing mirror life.
“The short story, like a love affair, reminds us of how we live our life in moments; moments of emotional intensity, despair, joy and love,” she said.
“Turning points, hauntings, startling revelations.”
