Michael Williams

Michael Williams is the CBWI’s programming director.

Brunswick born and bred, Michael’s bookishness marked him out as early as primary school.

With a thesis on the meaning of the Miles Franklin award under his belt, Michael embarked on a career in publishing, which eventually took him to New York, where he worked for six months.

After an eighteen month stint on 3RRR’s breakfast programme, Michael returns to literary Melbourne where he will continue his quest to connect audiences with ideas, this time programming diverse events designed to get Melburnians thinking.

Michael is very excited to have bought first e-Book, although hasn’t worked out how to use it yet.
