Blogging for writers – Zena Shapter
Blogging – what is it, why do it, and how? Zena Shapter introduces you to the world of blogging with a focus on how to do it right. What should you blog about? How do you attract and engage an audience? How should you build a blog, and what factors do you need to consider before starting?
From what makes a good blog post to which other social media channels you can use as part of your online strategy, this workshop will show you what blogging can do for you, and arm you with the knowledge and tips to get started straight away!

She also founded and leads the Northern Beaches Writers' Group (NBWG), whose collaborative writing has also won multiple awards.
She loves writing wild rides through the gulches of adventure that spit you out breathless, and close-to-reality books of the unexplained.
Zena gives regular talks/tutorials on creative writing and social media (because, after all, she is part-cyber!), teaching through the NSW Writers’ Centre, the Society of Women Writers NSW, the Fellowship of Australian Writers, Conflux Conventions and elsewhere.
Her stories have been published in anthologies such as Award-Winning Australian Writing (Melbourne Books, 2012) and magazines such as Midnight Echo.
