Final Draft - WENDY JAMES
A workshop for refining your work, the last stage that can make or break your chances of getting an agent and/or publisher and, of course, an audience. Wendy will guide you on the long and sometimes arduous journey that begins with redrafting and ends in publication. Bring a piece to work on and be prepared to workshop and polish until you've got that elusive final draft. This workshop is not just for writers at an advanced stage, but also for writers who want to know what work they’ll need to do when they get to a more advanced stage.
DATE: Saturday, 20 November, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
VENUE: NEWC
COST: $55 members / $65 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.
