Behind The Walls

Get behind the Old Fremantle Prison walls for intimate evenings with popular and award-winning authors.

Join us for some book chat in a series of evenings behind the walls of Fremantle Prison. We will be in conversation with award-winning authors about the inspiration for their books and their writing process. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your favorite authors, ask them what you’ve always wanted to know, and get your books signed. 

Behind The Walls with Sally Rippin 

On Sunday 20 October, at 3 PM, The Literature Centre invites you to a captivating conversation with Sally Rippin, the Australian Children's Laureate, and The Literature Centre’s CEO, Elizabeth Spencer.

Sally's inspiring mission, "All kids can be readers!" reflects her passion for transforming reading education. She advocates for creating supportive environments that empower children to become readers in their own way. Her focus is on taking the burden off the children and instead ensuring that we take responsibility to provide the environment and framework that makes it possible for all kids to read, in the form that suits them and with the right support (she reflects this passion in her adult book Wild Things as well). 

Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear Sally's insights and engage in a Q&A session.

Tickets are $10 and ticket holders can enjoy a light snack with tea & coffee on the verandah before the conversation begins.
