Workshop – The Shape of a Story with Pippa Kay
Time: 10:15 am to 12:00 pm
Place: Dixson Room, State Library of NSW
Cost: Members $35, non-members $45
Whether you’re a ‘plotter’ or a ‘pantser’, writing fiction or non-fiction, you need some structure to the story you are telling. We’ll explore ways to pull your reader into the story on page one, build a bridge to span the middle and resolve the story at its end.
Pippa Kay is an award-winning short story writer and has won Society of Women Writers National Writing Awards three times. Her book of collected short stories, Keeping it in the Family, won the Fiction Award in 2018.
