Last Thursday, on the 24th of September, we threw our first public event – a literary trivia night! Held at The Pumphouse Hotel in Melbourne, the night was a great success – over sixty people rocked up to put their love of literature and books to the test. Heads were scratched, wine was quaffed and a great deal of good-natured heckling indulged in.

A big thanks to everyone who came to support us, and to Readings, Malthouse Theatre, MUP, Spinifex and Penguin for generously donating prizes.

Have a look below for a selection of photos from the night. For more, visit our page at Facebook.

Some of our lovely supporters.

The winning table, with their prizes - beautiful hardback copies of The Best American Short Stories of the Century, edited by John Updike.

The Kyds: Rebecca Starford, Hannah Kent, Lorraine Harding, Jo Case and Anne-Marie Reeves.

Sad you missed out? Never fear, Kill Your Darlings will be holding another literary trivia night in Adelaide on the 30th of October. Watch this space for more information…
