Respected journalist, publisher and policy maker Anne Summers will share the story of her extraordinary career with Newcastle Writers Festival director Rosemarie Milsom. Anne's memoir, Alive and Unfettered, will be published by Allen & Unwin on November 1 and she shares wicked anecdotes about the famous and powerful people she has worked with or reported on, and is refreshingly frank about her own anxieties and mistakes.

Anne is now based in New York and this is a rare opportunity to hear her speak about her life. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and Anne will also be signing copies of her memoir.

Thanks to MacLean's Booksellers for supporting the event.
