Drawing from life: writing workshop with Anna Ciddor

Anna Ciddor.jpg

Calling all budding writers!

Join best-selling author, Anna Ciddor, to learn how to write stories inspired by your life.

To write her latest timeslip novel, Moonboy, Anna looked back at her own childhood and how she felt in 1969 watching the first moon landing.

Anna will share her secrets on building an intriguing story drawn from life experiences, no matter how ordinary they may seem.

Best suited to children aged 8 to 13 years. Bookings are required for all children attending the event. Parents/carers do not need to book a ticket.

Anna Ciddor's work has won many accolades, including the Nance Donkin Award for Children's Literature, a grant from the Australia Council and Notable Book awards from the Children's Book Council of Australia. Some of her best-loved books include Runestone, 52 Mondays and The Boy Who Stepped Through Time.

Here's what you need to know about attending our events.
