We publish books that matter — narrative and literary nonfiction on important topics, and the best of local, international, and translated fiction.

For many years, the Adelaide Writers Week ‘Breakfast with Papers’ session has delighted audiences. What a way to kick off a festival day: a clever host, a couple of savvy writers, and a plethora of news stories from that morning’s newspapers.

We love this idea, so we’re going to do a Sorrento version with director and producer Tom Wright. Called ‘The Morning Feed’, our 45-minute chat with Inala Cooper and Michael Gawenda (My Life as a Jew) will cover news stories from that morning.

Grab a coffee and a croissant and join us in Halcyon Hall for this stimulating strat to the day.

This session is supported by Pitcher Partners.
