i presented at vate

Thank you to the Victorian Association for the Teaching of English for booking me to deliver a workshop about using fictional techniques in non fiction. This was the most nervous I have been delivering a presentation as my audience were teachers! It was a lovely day and I received some great feedback and shared my presentation to support teachers with teaching memoir writing. 

I also got to see Maxine Beneba Clarke delivering her keynote presentation and a workshop on writing poetry and they were great sessions. In the last session of the day I went to the NGV and did a workshop about using art to inspire writing and it was so much fun and always a treat to be among beautiful artwork. 

I don't have any photos of the day, because I was so nervous, so here are some photos of my tag and Maxine's books. Each delegate received a copy of How Decent Folk Behave and I bought her latest poetry collection for young people, It's the Sound of the Thing. Looking forward to reading them. Also am shamelessly copying Maxine's post of taking a photo of my badge so I can write this post.

To the teachers out there, I'm available for school visits or to deliver professional learning about memoir writing. Check out my website.
