Herding Kites

A Celebration of Australian Writing

This anthology gathers up the energy, dynamism and raw talent from the past 10 years of the national Young Writers' Festival, an annual creative bender that hosts Australia's brightest writers and literary troublemakers. 

It's a unique collection of Australian voices: everyone from underground mavericks to internationally acclaimed wordsmiths, writing for the love of the craft and not just the salvation of a cheque.

Anthologised by Michael Williams and featuring the likes of Nick Earls, Shaun Tan, Max Barry and Sophie Cunningham, the result is funny and touching, sometimes confronting and always surprising. You might even be blown away.
