Creative Writing Workshop

AJ Betts (Author)

Where do ideas come from? AJ Betts’s stories come from many places: found things, newspaper articles, and overheard conversations, for example. Once, she wrote a novel inspired by breakfast… In this session, AJ demonstrates how to tease out character and story from everyday objects. It’s all about asking the right questions. 

AJ Betts is an award-winning Australian author of books for young adults. Her latest novel, Zac & Mia, is being published in 12 countries and won the 2014 NSW Premier’s Prize, the 2014 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award, and the 2012 Text Prize. She is passionate about creativity, teaching and cycling.
