First Friday with Myoung Jae Yi

7 June 2024, 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

Online via Zoom

First Friday, our monthly conversation with an industry professional, is a chance for our community to learn more about the writing and publishing industry. This June, we invite you to our online event with Myoung Jae Yi, Creative Director of the Headland Writers Festival and owner of Candelo Books in Bega.

Myoung will join us to share insights about directing a literary festival, the state of the arts in regional NSW, and how his vibrant community came together after the 2018 fires.

This event starts online at 12:30pm, via Zoom, and will run for 60 minutes. If there is time, we will take audience questions at the end. Free and open to members and non-members, but RSVPs are essential.

Registered attendees will receive a link to access this event prior to the start time.

Myoung Jae Yi is the Creative Director of the annual Headland Writers Festival in Tathra, NSW. First established in 2021, the festival has brought some of Australia’s most respected authors, poets, thinkers and performers to the Far South Coast of NSW. Since 2007, he has owned and managed Candelo Books in Bega, an independent retail bookstore that has been serving the community for over 35 years. Myoung is also a Radio Producer at ABC South East NSW and is currently studying for a Graduate Diploma in Radio and Podcasting at the Australian Film Television and Radio School.
