Gary Lonesborough in Conversation

YA and First Nations author Gary Lonesborough talks about growing up queer and Indigenous and how his experiences shaped his books The Boy from the Mish and We Didn't Think It Through. This exciting Q&A provides a unique chance to ask Gary about his creative processes and writing life.

This Q&A session is best suited for young people aged 14+. While young people aged over 12 are not required to have a parent or guardian in attendance, you are welcome to accompany your young person. Each ticket includes entry for one young person and their guardian. You will be emailed with details about where to go for your session prior to the day.
