Herding Kites - 10 years of writing from the National Young Writers' Festival
Herding Kites is the anthology of writings from a decade of the National Young Writers Festival.
The festival is part of the broader This is Not Art event which includes parallel festivals: Sound Summit, Electrofringe, and Critical Animals.
Each year, poets, graphic novelists, established writers and emerging voices converge in Newcastle in a writers' festival unlike any of the major literary events that happen in the capital cities each year.
Herding Kites features well known authors like Anna Funder and Max Barry but also many unknown writers who go to the festival to share ideas and network...in their own particularly anarchic way.
Michael Williams is the editor of this collection.
