Melanie Myers Author Talk

In August we invited Melanie Myers to speak about her new book Meet Me at Lennon's at Victoria Point Library. Here's the recording for everyone who missed the in-person event.

Melanie Myers is a Brisbane-based writer, academic, and occasional actor. In 2018 she won the Queensland Literary Awards Glendower Award for an Emerging Writer. She is the former artistic director of Reality Bites Festival, a non-fiction writers festival based on the Sunshine Coast.

Meet Me at Lennon's has been nominated for both the Queensland Premier's Award for a work of State Significance as well the The Courier Mail People's Choice Queensland Book of the Year Award.
