Getting Started : making stories, a creative writing workshop for beginners
WENDY JAMES
Knowing where to begin is often the hardest part of writing, but at the end of this class you’ll have characters, a plot, and plenty of inspiration. You’ll be ready to start making stories. Award-winning novelist, Wendy, has published novels and short stories. If you’re having trouble starting your first (novel, short story or any creative writing) this is the place to get going.
DATE: Saturday, 1 May, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
VENUE: NEWC
COST: $50 members / $60 non-members.
Wendy James's latest novel, Where Have You Been?, a domestic thriller set in Sydney's northern beaches, was published by UWAP in February 2010.
Her first novel, Out of the Silence (Random House, 2005), won the 2006 Ned Kelly Award for first crime novel, and was shortlisted for the Nita May Dobbie Award for women’s writing. Her second novel, The Steele Diaries, was published by Vintage in 2008. A collection of short stories, Why She Loves Him, was published by UWAP in 2009.
