JOY COWLEY WRITING WORKSHOP

WRITING FROM THE HEART

Storylines is pleased to announce that Joy Cowley will run a two-day interactive workshop in Auckland on 27 & 28 February 2010, as a Storylines fund-raising activity.  She has run many such workshops in America and other countries over the past two decades, but infrequently in New Zealand. A very successful workshop was held in Christchurch in September 2009 and now it's Auckland's turn.

The Auckland event is a great chance to attend an intensive two-day course with this master storyteller, covering all aspects of writing for children and young adults (getting started, plot, character, voice, humour, writing disciplines, picture books, chapter books, YA novels, presenting a manuscript, getting support.)

Maximum 30 participants
