THE WRITE STUFF: MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE
Saturday 11 May, 1.30pm–2.30pm, Featherston School Hall, $20
Catherine Robertson, Lee Murray and Isa Pearl Ritchie stuck to their dreams to write in the genres they love – romance, popular fiction, horror and speculative fiction – and, despite the naysayers, have managed to build a fan base, make a living from their writing and win awards.
