Q&A and Writing Skills with Raewyn Caisley
Q&A and Writing Skills with Raewyn Caisley
Wednesday 26 June 9am to 10am.
Online
Join award winning author Raewyn Caisley online as she takes students through a My Place worksheet filled with skills and tips and then ask all your questions about writing, editing and idea creation.
The session will be a live “zoom” style presentation (using Microsoft Teams) where Raewyn will run the group through a short skill workshop (the document she uses will be emailed to those booked in).
This short skills sheet works well with a variety of ages with each participant looking at what they're experiencing and what words they would use, very much focusing on the adage "write what you know".
This workshop is offered to schools around the state as part of the Craig Silvey Award for Young Writers 2024.
