All material objects, from the most precious to the most mundane, have a story to tell. In creative writing they can be used to powerful effect to shape the narrative, and to engage readers.

This workshop with award-winning author Vanessa Berry will guide you in using the narrative power of objects to help you shape your story.

Objects connect us with stories of people, places and times in our personal and cultural histories. In this workshop you will learn creative ways to consider and write about objects.

The course will cover effective descriptive techniques, how to successfully integrate objects into narrative, and how, through experiments and exercises, the potential of material objects can be unlocked.

This writing course, Finding Inspiration Through Objects for Memoir and Fiction with Vanessa Berry, takes place at Writing NSW in Sydney.
