Horizon Festival

Sunshine Coast Libraries presents local author and writing coach, Dr Eileen Herbert-Goodall. You are invited to hear Eileen speak about some of the techniques and methods she uses when developing fictional pieces (short stories, novellas, and novels), particularly in relation to writing from theme. The morning will see attendees participate in a guided writing exercise, which they will have an opportunity to share if they wish to.
Eileen's novella 'The Sherbrooke Brothers' will be available for purchase at the event. Free admission but bookings essential.
Participants will be encouraged to commence a short fiction piece or memoir during the workshop, working from the theme ‘coming home’. They will then have two weeks to complete and submit their piece directly to Dr Eileen Herbert-Goodall for review.
Stories due to Eileen by Sun 16 Sep 2018 by 11.59pm. Top 20 stories [judged by Eileen] will be published in an online issuu magazine, through the Field of Words account, on Tues 30 Oct 2018.
