-
a festival for readers, writers, illustrators and
other lovers of word and image
NorthWrite
2012 is
a writing festival organised by the Northland branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors, taking place in Whangarei 7-9 September 2012.
Award-winning
and top-selling authors, illustrators and artists from New Zealand and
Australia who will address the theme “The Business of Writing” from various
perspectives and experiences.
All
are welcome — writers, whether experienced or just starting out;
illustrators and other visual artists; and anyone who enjoys a good story in
any form. Discussions and workshops will appeal to writers across genres and
with different personal and professional goals.
From
historical fiction writer Deborah Challinor to poet Paula Green, from
journalist Joe Bennett to illustrator Fifi Colston, this conference includes
something for everyone. The full programme of workshops includes the basics of
writing (from grammar to self-editing to preparing your manuscript for
publication), performance and delivery, marketing and social media,
illustration and picture book, non-fiction and poetry, historical fiction and
children’s literature.
For
a complete list of workshops and their scheduled times and pricing, see the Workshops page on the NorthWrite website.
