JM Donellan at NYWF 2014

NYWF is the Australia’s largest gathering of young and innovative writers working in both new and traditional forms. Held annually in Newcastle, this year’s festival will take place from the 2-5 October 2014, over the Labour Day long weekend.

 “We are thrilled to be supporting young emerging talent like Josh Donellan, and this is the perfect avenue for his quirky dark style”, commented Alison Green, CEO and Founder of Pantera Press.

Donellan’s Killing Adonis, a tragicomic tale about love, delusion and corporate greed, is to be published by Pantera Press in October and has already been described as “a Wes Anderson movie waiting to happen”.

The full line-up for the 2014 NYWF is yet to be released.
