* Louise Milligan, ABC journalist and author of Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell
* Best-selling thriller writer Michael Robotham, winner of the prestigious British Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger. Michael will also be appearing at a special NWF event at Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on 7 April.
