ABOUT THE ROUNDTABLE

The Parramatta's Lit! This Industry Roundtable brings together leaders from across Parramatta's cultural, education, government, business and literary sector.

This Roundtable has been convened in response to the City of Parramatta's Creative Parramatta 2025–2034 strategy Creative Parramatta | City of Parramatta, which identifies literature as one of Parramatta's defining cultural strengths.

The discussion will include:
