A great Melbourne-based blog by a young writer, Literary Minded, has now become an important read about literary happenings in Australia and beyond. I met the writer in Melbourne over the weekend and she’s a highly engaged woman with a love of unconventional thoughts on books and new media (and it was obvious who she was before we even met, with a t-shirt that read, “literaryminded.blogspot.com.”)
She has written about The Blogging Revolution at the Melbourne Writer’s Festival and the important debates over “new media” and the need for “old media” to survive, and even thrive.
