By popular demand the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre will offer another workshop for home schooled children in term 4.
The course will go over 8 weeks and is designed for teenagers aged approximately 11 to 15 years (Years 7 – 10) who are beginning to exploring their creative writing talents and potential or who are interested in amplifying the skills they have learned last term.
The course will cover major techniques of prose writing and – for the first time ever – writing plays for radio. Pupils will learn about finding topics, narrative devices, storyline, dialogue, sound effects and script layout.
They will receive writing tips, constructive criticism and feedback.
The workshops will be held at the KSP Writers Centre, 11 Old York Road, Greenmount each Friday for eight weeks, commencing on October 23, 2009, 11.30 – 1.30 and finishing on December 11, 2009. The course is suitable for all levels, from beginners to the more experienced. The costs are $ 95 for Non-Members and $ 80 for KSP Members.
The facilitator of the course will once more be Kathleen Dzubiel who is a published poet. Her work has been performed in public and on radio across Australia. She has been conducting courses in creative writing for over ten years.
(Any young writers who attend school and can arrange to come are also welcome.)
