Sydney Writers' Festival: The Books That Exploded (and Why We Fell in Love)
Sometimes authors just get it right. Liane Moriarty (Big Little Lies), Graeme Simsion (The Rosie Effect) and Terry Hayes (I Am Pilgrim) have managed to join the select group of Australian authors who have had blockbuster success locally and overseas. Their books have struck a nerve with readers everywhere, from Liane’s warm and witty suburban dramas, to Graeme’s irresistibly quirky romantic comedies and Terry’s heart-stopping take on the espionage thriller. ABC 7.30’s Leigh Sales finds out the secrets behind the stories you couldn’t put down.

Sydney Writers' Centre interviews Australian author Favel Parrett
Sydney Writers' Centre interviews author Favel Parrett on her debut novel, Past the Shallows (May 2011). It is about two brothers growing up on the wild Tasmanian coast. With their mother dead, they live with their abalone fisherman father, an angry bitter man. While one brother surfs, the other is afraid of the water. Favel was a recipient of an Australian Society of Authors Mentorship in 2009 and has had short stories published in Island and Wet Ink.
Sydney Writers' Centre interviews Joe McGinniss at the Sydney Writers' Festival
Active for over 40 years as a journalist, Joe McGinniss first rose to prominence with the book The Selling of the President, 1968. This work of non-fiction which detailed the way in which then-US Presidential candidate Richard Nixon was marketed to the public went straight to the New York Times bestseller list, and stayed there for six months. Its success allowed him to quit his day job at The Inquirer magazine and concentrate on writing full time.
He has since written 11 more books, which are a mix of fiction and non-fiction works. These include The Dream Team and The Miracle of Castel di Sangro, and his latest work, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, which was published in September 2011. Though it received mixed reviews, it confirmed that his role as an observer and recorder of the US political process continues apace.
