Craig Silvey in conversation with Tori Haschka

What a wonderful night!

We welcomed a full house on Monday October 27, 2025 for a wonderful evening as Craig Silvey joined Tori Haschka in conversation at the Berry School of Arts. It was a privilege to listen, learn, and laugh alongside one of Australia’s loved authors as he delved into the process behind crafting Runt and the Diabolical Dognapping as well as his creative process and hopes for the future of writing in Australia.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, and to those who made the night so special — Uncle Tom Moore for his Welcome to Country, Bangalay Dining for the delicious food, Cupitt’s Estate for the beverages, and Dymocks Nowra for bringing the books.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2026...

The Berry Writers Festival is already counting down to 2026 — and we can’t wait to share what’s next.
