The Auckland Writers Festival was fantastic!

Everyone was fabulous but we especially loved Caroline Moorehead chaired by Carole Beu (the audience was in tears); Jesmyn Ward describing Hurricane Katrina in Salvage the Bones; Oliver Jeffers with kids up on stage drawing; Emily Perkins chairing Charlotte Wood, Roddy Doyle & AD Miller, & the wonderful Woman who Changed Her Brain - Barbara Arrowsmith-Young.
