Write Fantasy Worlds with Tigest Girma

Tigest Girma is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Dark and Eternal Ruin. She is an Ethiopian writer based in Melbourne, Australia and splits her time between writing and teaching. Passionate about exploring East African characters and myths, her work weaves Black stories with the dark and fantastical. In her free time, she can be found rewatching her comfort shows where the villain gets the girl. The third and final instalment of the Immortal Dark series is set to release later in the year. 

Write with Tigest at an exclusive 4-hour workshop on Sunday 12 July at the Wagga Wagga City Library, where she will:

• focus on how to build a fantasy world through the lens of your main character

• explore the symbiotic relationship between internal character arcs and external world elements

• provide generous tips and techniques on where to begin and where to weave your protagonist’s journey  

From culture to magic, Tigest will create a safe and inclusive space for all types of writers to enjoy this creative environment together.
