About the event

Masterclass — Catherine Chidgey. The Voice of the Child: Writing the Child Narrator
Many of Catherine Chidgey’s novels feature child narrators,
from The Wish Child and Pet to The Book of Guilt (and, arguably,
Tama Magpie in The Axeman’s Carnival). In this workshop,
Chidgey will discuss how she created these characters and
their voices, guiding you through a series of exercises to help
you to practise writing your own child narrators as three dimensional figures who ring true without sounding twee.

$55/50 Tickets available from Ticketmaster at the link above. Strictly limited numbers.
