More on one of the Writers' Centre events: novel weekend

A Novel Weekend

With internationally acclaimed author Linda Jaivin

Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 April 2010

10am-4pm

Cost: $270, VWC Members: $210 / $190


Ever wanted to write your own novel? Sitting on an unfinished manuscript? Over two days, Linda Jaivin will guide you on a journey from inspiration to creation. Through a combination of lecture, discussion and a vari-ety of short writing exercises, she will introduce the ba-sics of novel-writing. How do you come up with a good idea for a novel? How do you get started? What comes first, character or plot? How to stop telling and start showing? Where will it all end? She will also teach you how to be your own best editor. This course is open to writers of all levels.


Linda Jaivin is the internationally acclaimed author of six novels, numerous short stories and has also produced several plays. Linda’s first novel Eat Me was an interna-tional bestseller and remains a cult-classic. Her fourth, The Infernal Optimist, was shortlisted for the ASL Gold Medal. Her latest is A Most Immoral Woman (2009).
