Author Information

The High Country Writers Group is an informal gathering of wordsmiths who meet at The Makers Shed on the New England Highway at Deepwater, NSW, at the heart of the traditional lands of the Ngarrabul people. Participants from Glen Innes, Inverell, Bingara, Grafton, Ashford and Deepwater started discussing the art of writing until one member suggested the group start to write 300-word responses to a prompt, one word or a short phrase selected at random from the High Country Books shelves in the lounge area where we meet. This 'homework' was then read out to the group at the next session, leading to many wonderful listening experiences for all those within earshot. Somewhere along the line, High Country Books decided these moments were too good to leave hanging invisible in the air, and offered to publish the work with each writer's permission.
