Bunjil Place Library
Event Description
As writers, we provide an invaluable bridge between readers and experts. As you learn about a topic you are passionate about, you begin to develop the expertise needed to write about it. You need to convey what you have learnt while also drawing on your personal journey to create an engaging narrative. If you're fascinated by a topic and would like to turn it into an essay or book, this workshop will guide you through the steps to get started.
You will learn:
· How to structure a research journey.
· How to approach experts.
· To spot and keep the quirky bits for the narrative.
· How to get your hands dirty for the narrative.
· When and how to approach publishers.
