I’ll be teaching two writing workshops (and taking part in a couple more sessions) at 2016 Perth Writers Festival (PWF), part of Perth International Arts Festival (PIAF).
Teaching the monster to speak
Writing believable characters
Writing fiction is a licence to invent and transform. Tracy Farr‘s novel, The Life and Loves of Lena Gaunt, has been described as ‘a novel which reads like an elegant memoir’. In this workshop, Farr explores ways of inventing believable characters and developing your instincts as a writer.
When: Saturday 20 February, 10am to 1pm
Where: Arts Lecture Room 5, PWF precinct at UWA
Tickets: Adult $67.50 // Friends $59.50 // Full Time Students $53
Details and booking online: ‘Teaching the monster’ workshop
State of origin

Join Melbourne-born, Perth-raised, New Zealand-based writer, Tracy Farr, to consider the multiple connections and affiliations – with place, culture, language, age, gender, occupation and more – that contribute to your identity as a writer.

Where: Arts Lecture Room 5, PWF precinct at UWA
