It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our dear friend, Marion Halligan. Her contributions to literature have left an indelible mark on our region and sector. 

Marion captivated readers with her elegant prose, and insightful storytelling. She was an enduring force of creativity, intellect, and compassion, and we will greatly miss Marion’s wit and wisdom. 

We are honoured to have had Marion as our Patron for many years and acknowledge her contributions to our organisation over the past 30 years. We are truly fortunate to have shared a part of our journey with Marion Halligan.

Our thoughts are with Marion’s family, friends, and all who were touched by her work.

Marion's legacy will endure through her words, which will continue to inspire and resonate with readers and writers long into the future.
