12.01.2022 "Remoteness is a significant challenge for Northern Territory authors, booksellers, publishers and event organisers." Our wonderful 2020 Festival Director, Fiona Dorrell, comments on the particular challenges of directing a festival in the NT, with or without a pandemic! #2020ntwf #ntwf #literaryfestivals #writersfestivals #NT #darwin

Now is your chance to get a copy! Call The Bookshop Darwin now and they might even be able to get it signed for you! #ntwf #ntwf2020 #ntwriters #writersfestivals #indonesianhistory #easthjava #indonesianstudies #cdu Charles Darwin University
