KICKSTARTER: GET THAT STORY OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND ONTO THE PAGE!
Mandy Hager
20 & 27 OCTOBER, ONLINE
Do you have a story you’re burning to tell but don’t know how to tackle it? Whether fiction, memoir or narrative based non-fiction, you’ll learn how to centre a story around a point of view character, tying plot, character and theme together to create a unified whole.
“The Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat was like a home coming. I left feeling nourished and nurtured, attaining more knowledge and confidence to step firmly into my life as a writer. Thanks to all those who shared their wisdom, words and energy of encouragement throughout the weekend.”
“The Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat is different to other retreats. It’s not just the quality of the presenters, it’s that the weekend doesn’t feel too packed or rushed. You have time to reflect and go into depth.”
“Space and time to write, think writing, talk writing, away from the bustle and commitments of everyday life is a fantastic gift. I’ve come away with new friends, new ideas, and new tools to enrich my writing.”
