Fiction writer Barbara Else says, “Writing for children is a double journey. It hopes to create a voice that the young reader can trust. At the same time, for the writer it can be a way of trying again to find the enchanted inner world of being a child, of being new to story.”

In this workshop Else will talk you through the business of finding the right voice and requisite bounce to capture a younger audience. She’ll discuss the needs of readers, what the writer can offer and how to focus a story, and take you through some exercises to help you establish a kid-centric tone.

Thursday 9 May, 1.00–3.00pm
Dunningham Suite, Dunedin City Library
Price: $45
