Join us for a book club with some of Australia’s most celebrated authors!

Hosted by author and screenwriter Benjamin Law, this lively conversation brings together authors Sofie Laguna, Mark Brandi, and Jodi McAllister to discuss the books they’ve loved. From recent favourites to the titles they wish they’d written themselves, the panel will share the stories that have stayed with them long after the final page.

Find out the writers they always return to, whether they avoid their own genres, and their insights into the delicate balance between reading and writing.

Suitable for ages 16 and up.
Free event. 
Bookings required.

 


This event is proudly part of the 2026 Glen Eira Storytelling Festival.
