PANDEMIC UPDATE — With Australia in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools are understandably nervous about having visitors. If your school would like a virtual presentation instead, I can deliver this via Zoom, Skype, Google Meets or your preferred platform. Alternatively, I can also create videos for your schools specific needs and supply them via an unlisted YouTube link. Email me if you want to know more.
I am available for speaking engagements and workshops at schools, libraries, conferences, etc. I’ve also had experience judging writing competitions.
I can be booked through the below agencies:
Possible topics include:
- Introduction to writing
- Story structure
- Characterisation
- World Building
- Starting out in professional writing
- The writing process: from idea to finished book
- Education market versus trade: the difference between writing for these two very different markets
- Fiction versus non-fiction
- The importance of research
- Using personal experience as a springboard for writing fiction
I am also happy to tailor a specific topic to your needs.
