Spend 90 minutes with Heather Rose asking the questions you most want answered about your own writing: Are you writing historical fiction? How do you balance the story with the historical facts? How do you create a world from centuries ago? Are you writing memoir? How much is good to share? How do you balance the truth with trauma? Do you have a novel where the characters are problematic – or the plot? Are you at a point where you’ve simply lost direction in your manuscript? Or momentum? How do you maintain discipline while juggling work & family? How do you seek constructive feedback? What happens once a manuscript has been rejected? What happens when it’s been accepted? Bring your journal or notepad, pens, sticky notes and courage. No recordings, no filming. Just writers learning how to become better writers.  This is a rare opportunity to seek answers from one of Australia’s bestselling authors of fiction and memoir.
