SCREEN SAVER PHOTO

The photo on Mark's computer screen saver is the young writers leadership group that met with Mr Basil Sellers AM last month in Sydney. Basil Sellers, Laura Veloso (Melbourne), Sophia Sinclair (Christchurch), Sam Gillespie (Sydney), Wesley Tronson (Gold Coast), Russell Modlin (Sunshine Coast). Subsequently Sophia with some help from Sam sent a funding submission to Mr Sellers which was very pleasingly agreed. The ear-marked funding for 1 August annual conference, a NZ young writer ministry visit, along with other specific events.
