The Clunes Booktown Festival is delighted to announce that its author talk with award-winning Australian crime writers Emma Viskic and Mark Brandi will have Australian sign language (Auslan) interpretation.

You may recognise Emma Viskic’s name from the critically acclaimed Caleb Zelic series, with Resurrection Bay (2015) which won the 2016 Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction and three Davitt Awards, and And Fire Came Down (2017).

The lead character in this series has been profoundly deaf since early childhood, and Emma studied Auslan in order to write these books.

Speaking with Emma is Mark Brandi – author of bestselling novel, Wimmera (2017), which won the coveted British Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger, and is shortlisted for Best Debut in the 2018 Indie Awards.

This talk is FREE with your Festival Pass – which you can buy online here!
