Western Australia is evacuated of twelve of its best emerging writers this month, as Cottonmouth leads a caravan across the plains to the National Young Writers' Festival, part of This Is Not Art 2008. The NYWF is held in Newcastle NSW from 02-06 October. If you find yourself adrift in that city around those days you should come down to see Amber Fresh, MC Able, James Quinton, Kristy Felton, Jay Pruyn, Patrick Pittman, Scott-Patrick Mitchell, Tomas Ford, Rebecca Giggs, Simon Cox, Jessyca Hutchens and Sam Knee wax lyrical at numerous readings, panel discussions, performances and roundtables. We'll be back with our mouths full of new words to showcase at Cottonmouth IX on Thursday, October 16.
