For one night only, join authors and tutors Rebecca Giggs (Writing Creative Nonfiction), Emily O’Grady (Writing a Novel – Brisbane), Emily Bitto (Writing a Novel – Melbourne), Pip Smith (Writing a Novel – Sydney), Kavita Bedford (Writing a Novel – Sydney), Liz Evans (Writing a Novel – Hobart), Gretchen Shirm (Writing a Novel Online) and Shivaun Plozza (Writing a YA Novel) as they talk about their courses, exploring topics covered and the guest speakers you might encounter, how the Faber Writing Anthology leads students to success, and how they will help you get as close as possible to finishing a draft of your manuscript across the year.
They will also talk you through putting together a compelling application for the upcoming scholarship round – how to grab their attention and make your project sing. What should you focus on in telling us why this is a story only you can tell? Together, they will talk about how much time you might need to put aside to write outside of class and the bonds that develop between students, often leading to the formation of lifelong writing groups.
This is an extremely rare opportunity to spend an hour with four of Australia’s most exciting writers and brilliant teachers. Come prepared with questions you’ve long wanted to ask about studying writing! Places are free.
