Cherie Gilmour - Writers Workshop

Opinion Piece Writing

Everyone has opinions and at least one area they know a lot about.

This workshop will demonstrate how you can transform your ideas and experiences into a pitch. It will examine the personal side of writing opinion pieces and delve into some of the mechanics of memoir.  This workshop will also examine the practice of blogging for building experience, and how you can get your work to a publishable standard and build an audience.

She has written for other publications, like The Big Issue, Eureka Street, ABC Religion and Ethics, Kidspot and psychology features for MiNDFOOD magazine. She has previously run creative writing classes in Torquay and is embarking on a teaching career. She is working on her first novel.
