Australia’s leading festival of Indigenous and culturally diverse Australian writers, Boundless, will return to Western Sydney on Saturday 26 October 2019.

“If Burns wrote music, I would say she does not miss a beat, whether she raises issues about the past or the present, she does with conviction, with vivid imagery and poignant comments.” – Beatriz Copello reviews apparently by Joanne Burns

‘Just write. Even if no one ends up reading it, every piece of writing you produce goes towards honing your craft!’

‘[Collaborative writing] can work wonderfully. Having someone you trust give an opinion about your latest idea helps a lot.’

‘Try to get words down if you can – every little bit adds up. But don’t be hard on yourself if some days it doesn’t happen. I’ve had plenty of days that have been wiped off and I’m still trying to tell myself that ‘it’s okay’.’
