Wombat Appraisal Reports
A special for our attendees is a full appraisal report with Wombat Books at a 30% discount! Please book by the 25th of March to ensure your report is ready. Rochelle will also meet with you for 10 minutes to share your report with you.
Use this code - D8S3X6D02P
It will only work once for each person, and we have a maximum of 12 discounted appraisal/meet ups available.
Portraits
​There will again be an opportunity for a photoshoot with professional photographer Kate
($150 cost separate)
for a cover photo or website headshot.
Prices include morning and afternoon tea as well as lunch. Saturday evening meal is separate and you have the option to join us at the onsite restaurant at your own expense.

Accommodation must be arranged separately. The cheapest way is through the motel’s own website:

Similar to last year’s Showcase, it will be a time of fun, learning and worshipping. There will be opportunities to connect with publishers, editors and designers as well as other authors.
A bookstall will take stock of your books to sell for the weekend and there’ll be a book launch for the anthology Symphony of Grace. The opportunity for a 90-second elevator pitch will also be available.
There is still room for presenters for our dual-stream programme, so if you’ve got an idea, please get in touch. Because this is a ‘showcase’, we will give preference to multi-person presentations.
​
Timeline details are still being finalised, but see the PROGRAM page for our wonderful presenters!
