Overview
In the spirit of celebrating inspirational ladies — and because it was such a massive hit in Melbourne — the Emerging Writers' Festival are bringing their storytelling event Amazing Babes to Sydney for a one-night celebration of women who inspire, either in a wordy way, or in a general good-human-being kind of way.
Amazing Babes was originally inspired by the Amazing Babes book — Eliza Sarlos' "picture book for kids and adults". It's a compilation of stories about the lives of impressive, intelligent, game-changing women, from Audre Lorde to Tavi Gevinson.
The Sydney event will feature a swoon-worthy lineup of super cool and talented Australian writers. The list includes poet and Penguin Plays Rough storyteller, Pip Smith; founder of Canberra literary collective Scissors Paper Pen and author of this (pretty incredible) essay about menstruation, Rosanna Stevens; and novelist and founding member of SWEATSHOP collective, Tamar Chnorhokian.
On the night, they'll all be reading about an equally swoon-worthy batch of babes they admire. Can I get a hell yeah for sisterhood and solidarity?
This event is running as part of the Emerging Writers' Festival Roadshow. Read more about that over here.
