The Curtis Coast Literary Carnivale program is released today, and will once again include the very popular Write On! one day series of workshops for members of the general public.
Adults and teenagers are invited to attend this intensive program on Sunday 24 July 2016 at Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum, in which a choice of four workshops will be offered. Alternative sessions from 9.00am to 11.30am will be: A Special Silly Event with Gregg Dreise or Write Well: Effective Strategies for Creative Writing with Jacqueline Harvey. Alternative sessions from 12.30pm to 3.00pm will be No Rules Cartooning with Dave Hackett or Illustrating Picture Books with Lucia Masciullo.
If participants attend both a morning and afternoon workshop, lunch will be included. The program concludes with the panel discussion on writing, illustrating and publishing at 3.15pm to 4.15pm chaired by Robyn Sheahan-Bright, in which local author Kathryn Apel will join the four visiting presenters. Cost per workshop is $30 with the panel discussion free to participants.
A literary dinner will also be held that evening at the Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre at 6.30pm, with details to be advised.
