Keep a diary and one day it’ll keep you
—Mae West
The 15th of October will be a full day at Goulburn Mulwaree Library. I'll be presenting Finding the Plot, a three-hour creative writing workshop, at 10.00am, to be followed by an author talk at 2.00pm. Will be lovely to connect with a different audience in regional NSW. You can book the workshop here and the author talk here
On my way south to Victoria for some author events and I'll be stopping off at Queanbeyan Library on the way. You can book in to hear me talk about my journey to writing and publishing Something Else here
After successfully running my Finding the Plot workshop for Wagga patrons earlier in the year, it's lovely to be invited back. This time I'll be running a longer session of four hours with a break for lunch. There will be many exercises and discussions to get those creative juices flowing with lots of tools added to the writing kit of participants. You can book here
Had the chance to chat with Sam Robinson this morning on breakfast radio about the challenges faced by new writers and my upcoming writing workshop Kick-start Your Novel at Wagga Library this Saturday, 8 October. You can listen to the five minute interview here (my segment starts at 3:17:43)
It was great taking time out from my busy Brisbane book tour to speak with Shannon Parr From Redland City Council Libraries. Thanks to Shannon and the supporting library staff who made this possible. Library staff truly rock! You can watch the interview (8.5 minutes) via Facebook.
Put the 9th and 10th of September in your diaries for the Logan Writers Festival! I'll be up there for the two days meeting readers and also doing some other complementary events around town. If you're local, and even if you're not, I hope to see you there.
It's going to be a busy couple of days around Brisbane. Flying in on the 7th there are events and signings coming up, plus the Logan Writers Festival on the 9th and 10th.
This event at New Farm Library is courtesy of Brisbane City Council and you can book a free spot here.
