Writing Short Stories
Fiction, non-fiction & for Children
|
11am Saturday 8 August 2026
Join Ursula and Lee for a lively one-hour conversation on the art of the short story.
Ursula will explore writing for middle grade and YA readers, while Lee will discuss short fiction and creative non-fiction for adults. Structured as a ‘panel’ dialogue and concluding with a Q&A, this free community event is a rare chance to hear two of Australia’s most distinctive voices reflect on the possibilities of the short form. Livestreamed via Tamworth Library with recordings later available through the CNRL network. |
