Saturday, 11 Oct 2014, 01:00pm - 04:00pm
Past event
Most journalists think they have a book in them – but making the transition from short pieces of journalism to 80,000 words or more is not simple, and many can’t complete the transition. In this workshop editor/journalist Sybil Nolan will give participants the benefits of her ten years in publishing. This is a professional workshop intended for professional journalists with a defined project. Special guests: Jo Chandler and Russell Robinson.
