Event 38		print Print This Page
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT

A rich sense of place, in fiction and non-fiction work, is much more than just a description of the landscape. In this workshop, former Lonely Planet writer Thomas Kohnstamm will discuss various approaches that lead to a deeper, more textured formation of the setting of your work — whether it be for multiple locations or a singular place throughout the text. Both new writers and experienced writers who want to re-think this important aspect of their work will broaden their perspective and technique through this presentation.

Duration: 3 hours

This workshop has a maximum capacity of 20 participants.

Presented by the Australia Council for the Arts and Copyright Agency Limited.
