After collapse and controversy, Adelaide writers’ week has a new director: ‘I don’t envy anyone in this position’

Adelaide Writers' Week has appointed Rosemarie Milsom as its new director following a significant controversy that led to the festival's collapse, sparked by the disinvitation of author Randa Abdel-Fattah over her views on Israel, resulting in a boycott and the resignation of the festival's leadership. Milsom, who previously managed the Newcastle Writers Festival, faces the challenge of rebuilding the festival's reputation amidst ongoing tensions in the literary community.
