Heather Gallagher - Picture Book Writing 101

Writers Workshop - Local Word Writers Festival Pop-Up Event

Back by popular demand!

Many people love the idea of writing a picture book but when they sit down to try, realise what a difficult art form it can be to master.

This workshop will break down the unique elements of picture books and take participants through the different styles (fiction, non-fiction, concept, etc).

Participants are encouraged to come with an idea to work on. The workshop will discuss all things picture books including beginnings, endings, structure, word-choice and tone; and will finish up with an 'Ask Me Anything' session where Heather is happy to answer all your curly questions about the publishing process.   

Heather Gallagher works as a writer-in-residence in disadvantaged primary schools. Her first picture book, Happy Pants, was a recommended title in the Australian Family Therapist’s awards. Her latest, Scaredy Cat, is based on her anxious dog, Pip.

Tea and Coffee provided, includes a 45min lunch break.

Tickets $30pp OR $20pp for GRLC Members (free to join) OR $10 for Concession holders.
