I arrived in Mildura today and got a little lost but
remained intrigued and excited for the Writer’s Festival. I explored the Arts
Centre and, interestingly, couldn’t find any information booklets or even
posters about the Writers Festival. This made me wonder how widespread
(or not) the festival is. Is it only reaching a certain audience (writers,
authors, publishers, journalists, bloggers etc.)? Does this create limitations?
Are limitations a bad or good thing? Does the festival achieve what it wants to
if it is just reaching the same groups of people over and over? I would like to
explore these ideas further whilst I am here. My impressions so far are only
quite limited. I guess I just expected some hype or excitement or buzz around
town for the Writers Festival. Maybe that buzz is happening but only for some,
a few. I will continue to observe throughout the festival and see what I find…
