Don't miss this Write Out West: Western Sydney Libraries and Literature Festival event!
Join James O’Loghlin—comedian, broadcaster and acclaimed author—for an engaging conversation as part of Write Out West: Western Sydney Libraries and Literature Festival.
James will reflect on his career across law, comedy, broadcasting and writing, and discuss his work across both fiction and non‑fiction. With two new books published this year, he’ll share insights into his writing process, the stories that inspire him, and how ideas move from lived experience into compelling narratives.
Smart, witty and thoughtful, this event will appeal to readers who enjoy sharp storytelling and big ideas.
Followed by book sales and signing with QBD Books.
