Upper Murray Writers

Moo-ving Words - A Literary Lunch in the Country is scheduled to occur on 15 February 2025.
It will build on the success of the inaugural event held in February, this year.
We expect to present inspiring engaging speakers, a workshop for readers (a bookclub-type event) and a workshop for writers (to tackle publishing dilemmas), a panel discussion and Q&A and a sumptuous country lunch showcasing local produce. Decor will be fun and innovative and capture the theme.
I have been scouring opshops and garage sales for items with which to decorate tables … here is a sneak peek of quirky treasures I have picked up so far. If you have similar items you might like to donate or loan for the lunch, please let me know, we would be ever so grateful! ☺️ We will release the program and tickets in mid-December, but if you are keen, message us and we will put you on the advance notice list!

Excited about this project! I hope our closest cinema is included… Regent Cinemas Albury Wodonga

THANK YOU HERALD SUN!!

We want to take a moment to thank the Herald Sun for thier support. As an independently funded project, the support of the Herald Sun has expanded out opportunities to hopefully find a streaming platform who will help us make the last step to seeing V19 put into full production. The pilot episode will be available in select cinemas this summer, with cast and crew present, and we look forward to seeing you all there!!

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
