Sydney Writers’ Festival’s new artistic director, Michael Williams, appeared on the program to discuss the upcoming 2021 Sydney Writers’ Festival, with its timely theme ‘Within Reach’.

Topics covered include:

- His appointment to the position in the midst of COV-19 lockdown, how that shaped his start to the role and ultimately the organising of the festival.

- This year’s theme, ‘Within Reach’ and how the festival is underpinned with a strong sense of hope and what that means moving forward.

- What is it about writing and writers that can unite a society and assist them in such dark, unprecedented times.

- What he hopes for festival-goers to take away from the festival.

- And much more!
