About
Join us at Gosford Regional Library for a workshop suitable for all aspiring writers, from those who are thinking of writing a novel, to those who have written a novel and haven't been able to find a publisher. Author Donna Cameron will share her journey towards publication and guide you in setting your own manuscript up for the best chance of reaching publication.
Topics covered will include: the concept, rewriting, genre, the importance of first pages, the pitch, the cover letter, agents, the Australian literary scene, self-publishing versus traditional publishing, sites and platforms, cultivating resilience, and the importance of the why.
Donna's novels include 'Beneath the Mother Tree' (2018), which was selected for the Screen Queensland/Queensland Writers Centre Adaptable Program, 'The Rewilding' (2024), shortlisted for the 2025 Davitt Awards, and 'Bloomfield,' for which she received a Regional Arts Development Fund grant. 'Bloomfield' is scheduled for publication in early 2027.
Bookings essential. Book online via TryBooking, ask in any library branch, or phone 4304 7500.
