The Shortis Library was fortunate to host award winning writer and performer, Joel McKerrow during Book Week. Enthusiastic budding authors participated in Joel’s fast-paced interactive writing workshop. They learnt about creating stories that begin with the seed of a memory, asking ‘what if’, and throwing in humour and poetic devices. Joel’s recently released Urban Legend Hunters graphic novel was used as the basis for the creative workshop, and the students were lucky to have a sneak preview at the second volume of that series.
