June meeting - Dunedin Writers Workshop

Key to writing is character development, and for our June meeting we are delighted to announce Kathy Peace will run a workshop on Using Psychology to Create Complex Characters.

Kathy is one of our own members. She is a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist, and has worked in the UK and New Zealand in joint clinical and academic positions at Otago University. She began her fiction writing career while in lockdown. Her debut novel is called The Call of the Takahe.

We welcome new people to visit one time to experience the group, then we ask you join as a member, with an annual fee starting at only $15.
Members enjoy the benefit of being able to recieve a regular newsletter, participate in competitions and take part in writing retreats.
