Speculative Writing in Focus: Writing for Different Formats – Zahid Gamieldien
Details
If you're coming, please RSVP through the library as well as here so they can keep track of numbers.
Speculative Writing in Focus is a craft-focused day at the Willoughby Literary Festival. This year we'll present a series of free lecture-style sessions so as many people as possible can obtain the benefit of a workshop in the space of an hour.
Writing for Different Formats
When should an idea become a novel and when is it a short copy? What if it’s better as a screenplay or a game?
This talk examines how genre connects to format through a speculative lens.
Please RSVP through the library.
