Dyst-hopia: finding ways to write your characters into and out of trouble!
The Arts Centre, Maker Workshop
Christchurch, New Zealand
Description
We will explore how our dystopian protagonists become experts in struggle, and how they can find growth, redemption and hope. We will leap into some quick write scenarios where difficult choices must be made - choices that will propel your characters into action!
All attendees will receive a $10 voucher to spend at the Tamariki Book Festival on 26 September!
For ages 11-18
Lineup
Presenter: Heather McQuillan
For a long time I was a teacher who wrote- now I am a writer who teaches- the two roles keep getting tangled. I write for young people as well as short fiction and poetry.
