Free Workshops 2020

South Taranaki District Libraries offer free writing workshops with Judges of the awards.
This year the workshops were delivered digitally  via the Zoom platform.
2020 workshops were held in June.

 Whiti Hereaka focused on character creation -- how to create compelling characters that feel and sound real. Exploring  how story and action spring from character.
 
While Poetry judge, Glenn Colquhoun covered  ways of approaching the writing and shaping of poems … as well as some ways of picking them up every now and then, like shells on a beach.’
