Williamstown Literary Festival

Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Minister for Health Infrastructure) (09:55): This weekend we have also got the Williamstown Literary Festival going on. This is the 10th year of it this weekend, and on Saturday I will be presenting the Young Adas award. This award was started 10 years ago by Mary and Kevin Mack of Documents on Call, and it encourages writers between 14 and 18 years old in the western suburbs to submit a short story. There were 44 entrants this year from 27 different schools, and I really look forward to meeting some of these kids.
