Pip Dumbill writes about a one-day fiction writing class in Wellington

It recently occurred to me there are limited opportunities in the Wellington region to attend writing workshops - most seem to take place in Auckland.

Because of this, I've organised for Jillian Sullivan to teach a one-day fiction writing class on the Hero's Journey, and Character & Dialogue development. Jillian Sullivan is an award winning writer, and teaches creative writing for Massey University and the Highlights Foundation in the USA.  (www.jilliansullivan.co.nz )

I've scheduled the workshop for Saturday 21st September, and will run it from 9.30am - 4pm.  The cost is $55.  I've kept this as low as possible - the $55 goes towards flying Jillian up from Central Otago (where she lives), plus expenses while she's in Wellington.  Places are limited to 12
.
