Master Your Craft…
Exclusive Masterclasses Coming to The Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival
17 - 19 October
Get ready to unlock the secrets of storytelling with three literary legends.
You know that feeling when you read a book and think "How did they do that?" Well, we're about to let you in on some secrets. This year, we're hosting intimate masterclasses with three writers who've mastered the art of the written word: Catherine Chidgey, Duncan Sarkies, and Dominic Hoey. Fair warning – tickets are strictly limited.
In these intimate sessions with just you and a handful of fellow writers, you'll finally get answers to those questions that keep you up at night. The small-group format means unprecedented access to ask your burning questions, get personalised feedback, and soak up all the wisdom you can handle. Make sure you’re on our newsletter list for the programme drop next week...
Catherine Chidgey will guide you through the delicate art of creating authentic child narrators, drawing from her award-winning novels like The Wish Child and Pet. Learn how to capture innocence without sentimentality, and master voices that ring true.
Dominic Hoey strips away the pretence with ‘How to Write Good’ – a no-nonsense masterclass packed with three decades of hard-won wisdom. Whether you're picking up a pen for the first time or seeking to sharpen your skills, Dominic's insights will elevate your writing game.
Duncan Sarkies tackles every writer's nightmare – blank page paralysis. His ‘Writers as Explorers’ session transforms that overwhelming uncertainty into your greatest creative tool, offering practical navigation techniques for any storytelling project.
