HIDDEN NERVE is MARION's flagship year-long digital writing initiative on the art of writing prose.
Here’s your chance to join us for a HIDDEN NERVE session, by buying a one-off ticket to this special session with Nigel Featherstone.
Nigel Featherstone’s latest work is My Heart is a Little Wild Thing, published in 2022 by Ultimo, an imprint of Hardie Grant Publishing. The novel has been described as ‘Yearning and intimate’ (West Australian), ‘Poignant and ultimately hopeful’ (Delia Falconer), and ‘Sublime – a must-read of Australian literature’ (Holden Sheppard). His war novel, BODIES OF MEN, was published by Hachette Australia in 2019 and was longlisted for the 2020 ARA Historical Novel Prize, shortlisted for the 2020 ACT Book of the Year, and shortlisted in the 2019 Queensland Literary Awards. Nigel is also the author of three thematically linked novellas published by Blemish Books; the second, I’m Ready Now, was short-listed for the 2013 ACT Book of the Year. Nigel was the librettist for The Weight of Light, a contemporary song-cycle commissioned by the Hume Conservatorium that had its world premiere at The Street Theatre in Canberra in 2018; it received a Canberra Critics Circle Award.
