That first year I met Sharon Peers who runs it, and also a lecturer at Melb Uni, Bryony Cosgrave and we got talking about putting together a writing workshop for popular fiction.
I'm glad to say it's become a reality. The workshops will take place over the weekend of June 15-17, 2012, starting with a Friday evening session, and then all day Saturday and Sunday.
We've lined up some wonderful authors — crime writer, Shane Maloney, and fantasy, YA, children's writer and historical novelist Kate Forsyth. And of course, I'm taking some sessions, too. I think it's going to be a wonderful weekend.
If you've ever wanted to get started on a novel, or just hone your writing skills, all in the gorgeous surroundings of Melbourne University, this is your opportunity.
I've put together a website with the basic information — the details are on a downloadable pdf file.

What a fabulous line-up, Anne. Tempted. Very, very tempted...
ReplyDeleteIt's a good line-up, I agree, Louise -- successful authors who are all also good teachers/presenters. That's not a common combination.
ReplyDeletei first saw Kate Forsyth present at RWA in Sydney and she was excellent. And I love her books. Have you read her Rhiannon's Ride series? Wonderful.
