Youth creative writing workshop - become a young author

Award-winning indie author and poet Michael Botur will be delivering a down-to-earth workshop to introduce youth to fiction writing.

Thursday January 14, 10am-12.30pm at The Artery @ The Incubator, Historic Village, Tauranga.

The workshop looks at
- Why fiction writing is an art form that will change your life for the better
- How to capture inspiration on the page
- How to know you’ve got good or bad writing in front of you
- What to do next with your writing – publish digitally, on paper or even audio and video

Whangarei-based Botur is author of several acclaimed short story collections and young adult novel 'Moneyland' which has gained a cult following on the world’s largest publishing platform for teenagers, Wattpad – a site which has 65 million unique visitors per month. Botur will teach Bay of Plenty rangatahi about how creative writing is one of the most accessible and most rewarding art forms available to you - and something you can get into over summer.

The workshop will include an introduction to online publishing platforms Medium.com, Smashwords, Createspace, Wattpad, Bookfunnel and Goodreads, YouTube, Webnovel, Facebook and more.
