2nd Dec, University of Canberra
This workshop will involve practical writing exercises that will allow participants to learn how to make the most of their dialogue and environments so that every word earns its place and helps communicate the plot, character, atmosphere, and worldbuilding.
This year, our festival will take on a new identity, with a focus on speculative fiction.
Once again, there will be opportunities to meet with fellow writers and editors and the chance to learn, network and share ideas. There will be representatives from publishing houses, opportunities to pitch your work, purchase the books of others, along with seminars and workshops on various aspects of the craft of writing, plus some fun events. Most of all, the festival promises to be enticing, exciting and inspiring.
As in previous years, the venue will be Western Plains Cultural Centre.
WORKSHOP: Narrative Design and Writing for Games
