Dr Sian Prior - Writers Workshop

In this workshop Dr Sian Prior, author of 'Shy: a memoir' and 'Childless: a story of freedom and longing' (short-listed for The Age non fiction Book of the Year) will introduce you to some of the key skills and decisions involved in crafting engaging non fiction stories.

Topics discussed:
- Who is your imagined reader, and what do they need to invest in your story?
- Which writing 'voice' (or voices) should you use to tell your story?
- What is the ‘story’ behind your ‘situation’?
- How do you depict vivid 'characters' (including real people) on the page?
- What should you avoid when you're writing about the self?

Tickets $30pp OR $20pp for Geelong Regional Libraries Members (free to join) OR $10 for Concession holders.
