Join us as we discover the delights of the 'Totally Lit' Festival. From 26 September to 10 October in Fremantle/Walyalup, WA’s city of literature will come alive with a bright array of a variety of literature, books readings and discussions, showcasing some of the great authors and creators from WA and beyond.

We talk with Festival curator/producer Sharon Flindell to learn about this fascinating event and some of the highlights, including a wide range of topics such as:

• Book Launch: The Legend of Jessie Hickman
  Fremantle’s own award-winning author and illustrator team, Mark Greenwood & Frané Lessac are back with a rollicking new picture book about the fascinating but little-known legend of Jessie Hickman, better known as ’The Lady Bushranger’.
• Story Wheel!
  Step into the Story Wheel gondola and treat the young people in your life to their own private 10-minute story time experience with one of WA’s leading writers for children. Several options for different experiences.
• Writer, lawyer, academic and attorney-general are a few of the many hats worn by Dr. Tony Buti MLA. As part of the Totally Lit festival Tony brings his experience as a father and his skill as a writer to a conversation about Alkira, the powerful and passionate book he has written about his daughter, Alkira and her life with cri du chat syndrome. Through this deeply personal story, Tony also asks us to consider the ways in which we might move towards a more just and inclusive society for all.
