Scribe authors were very prominent at this year’s Brisbane Writers Festival, which ran from Wednesday, 17 September to Sunday, 21 September.
Norman Doidge, the author of The Brain That Changes Itself addressed several packed-out sessions. His book sold out, becoming the top-selling title at the festival, and setting a book-sales record for the BWF.
Chris Abani, the author of Song for Night, delivered an electrifying keynote address, and mesmerised his audiences at each of his sessions. Chris’ book became the festival’s #2 bestselling title.
All the other Scribe authors attracted significant attention, large attendances, and good book sales: Mahvish Khan (author of My Guantanamo Diary, which became the festival’s #9 bestselling title); Leilah Nadir (author of The Orange Trees of Baghdad; Gwynne Dyer (author of Climate Wars); and Julian Burnside, author of Watching Brief_).
Scribe thanks all its attending authors for their enthusiastic participation in what turned out to be a well-organised and highly successful writers’ festival.
