Why not join Brooke Dunnell this Saturday 27th July from 1-30 pm to 4.30 pm, for a pleasant afternoon of creative writing at the Peter Cowan Writers Centre which is located in Edith Cowan House, near the lake on the beautiful grounds of the Edith Cowan University, Joondalup Campus.
Interesting characters and appealing dialogue are both essential to good creative writing, but it can be hard to make your characters and their speech jump off the page. Through discussion, examples and a range of activities, this workshop will help participants develop their ability to create the kinds of characters readers – and writers – want to stick with for the long haul.
