#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
What happens when a city kid moves to a country town in the middle of nowhere? Find out how Oliver P got inspired to write his latest book, and why being different can make a difference. Discover how Oliver gets his ideas for stories, drawing from his experiences as a teacher, touring author and more recently an author Youtuber who loves his sneakers and games. You’ll walk away with a few ideas to write your own stories too!

The venue for the other two sessions, at 11:30am on both Thursday 11 and Friday 12 May, will still take place in The Edge Auditorium.
