Welcome & Opening Session for Text Marks the Spot.


The opening session of text marks the spot began with a very lovely introduction to people behind the scenes of the festival. While it wasn’t a lot of people or information it was nice to see who might be involved in some of the panels and what goes on during them. We were then introduced to eight different authors who I sadly do not remember the names of but included the lovely John Marsden, Alice Pung and Hazel Edwards. My initial thoughts on what they could possibly be doing was not at all of the good variety until Sue and Sarah Mayor Cox brought up the fact they were going to be doing a lovely game show. Each of the questions were well thought out and the answers were very entertaining. The game ended in a tie and left the audience wanting more of what they had to say but sadly that could not be because the session ended all to soon.
