Dunedin writer Paddy Richardson will present an interactive two hour workshop about the process of writing a novel.
Paddy is a prolific fiction author with a dazzling list of accomplishments. She has published eight novels, four of them finalists in the Ngaio Marsh Award. She has been awarded three Creative New Zealand awards, the University of Otago Burns Fellowship, the Beatson Fellowship and the James Wallace Arts Trust Residency. In 2019 she spent six months in Wellington as the Randell Cottage Writer in Residence. Her work has appeared in takahē and Landfall and on radio. It has been highly commended in writing competitions, including the Katherine Mansfield and Sunday Star Times Short Story Awards.
Paddy’s latest novel is a sequel to Through the Lonesome Dark, which was shortlisted for the New Zealand Heritage Book Awards and the International Dublin Literary Awards. Historical fiction at its most compelling, By the Green of the Spring is the gripping story of lives changed forever by the Great War, the hurts suffered, the losses borne, and the secrets kept, yet it is also the story of the capacity of the human spirit to endure, to hope and to love.
In this workshop Paddy will talk about the process of writing a novel and answer any burning questions. This workshop will be of immense interest to those who dream of writing their first novel.
This workshop is a collaboration between Queenstown Writers Festival, Queenstown Library and the Queenstown Creative Writing Group. Join us for what is bound to be an enthralling session. Your questions will be answered!
