What is Eleni-fest?

As part of my application to Arts SA for a grant (the Richard Llewellyn Arts & Disability Trust) to attend to the Romance Writer's of Australia national conference, I included undertaking some promotion work after the conference. This is to promote:
  • Arts SA
  • the Richard Llewellyn Arts & Disability Trust
  • grants
  • Romance Writers of Australia
  • Romance and fantasy genres
  • People with disabilities - in my case, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
  • Writing community spirit.
  • Give back to the writing community by disseminating information.
  • South Australia

So October has become Eleni-fest month to promote and celebrate. And goodies will be involved.






Thank you for everyone's support.
Eleni-fest is now over.
