Participants will dive into the nuts and bolts of comics, looking at structure, the marriage of image and words, point-of-view, and pacing. Renée will share details about her process of writing and illustrating a graphic novel and provide guidance for finding a publisher.

Renée Treml is a best-selling author and illustrator of twenty-five picture books for young readers. Published with Penguin Random House Australia, Allen and Unwin, and Capstone (USA), several of her books have won and been short-listed for awards.

Suitable for beginner to aspiring writers aged 13 and above*
