Only a few spots left for 'writers in forest' event
Published on 27 August, 2007
Only a few spots remain for a Writers' Workshop in the Forest, due to be held at the Waterpark Cabins near Byfield from September 7-9 this year.
Participants can develop their writing skills with CQU creative writing lecturer Dr Lynda Hawryluk and Capricorn poet Kristin Hannaford. Steve Butler is also going to do a session on lyric writing.
'Writing for Young Readers' and ‘Being at Byfield' will be 2 of the themes studied at the workshop, both noting the importance of the environment to today's writers.
Well known local writer R.G. Hay will introduce a thought-provoking discussion on ‘Websites for Writers - a Must! Why every would-be Author or Poet should have a Blog'.
A highlight of the weekend will be the Saturday workshop coordinated by Kristin Hannaford who will explore the relationship between works of art and poetry/writing.
Local Capricorn Coast artists, sculptors, textile workers, painters and wood carvers are invited to join in the Saturday workshop. This interaction between writers and artists will lead to an exciting exhibition next year at The Gallery, Emu Park.
All participants are invited to Sunday's final lunch at Ferns Hideaway complete with poetry, prose and music.
For further information, contact Idiom 23 editor, Liz Huf at work (07 4923 2573) or home ( 07 4938 3746); (l.huf@cqu.edu.au ) or co-editor Jim Douglas at (07 4930 6568) (j.douglas@cqu.edu.au ).
