Kirsty Murray: Author Talk

Session description:

As an author of nine novels, three works of non-fiction and two junior fiction titles, I have a wealth of knowledge of writing and publishing to share with young readers and writers. I am a passionate advocate of reading and love to challenge and inspire young people to extend their reading experience.

I am happy to adapt sessions to meet specific criteria or, if one of my books is being studied by students, to tailor the presentation to suit curriculum requirements.

Topics:

• How stories connect to everything
• Finding inspiration for stories in the world around you.
• Researching historical fiction and discovering amazing true stories buried in the layers of history.
• Incorporating the past, the present and the future into your writing
• The writer’s journey – from idea to finished book – including researching, editing and polishing a manuscript.
