How many participants can come to the workshop?
Ideally, this workshop is for 10 – 18 year olds, so a group of 8 – 15 ensures that participants are given personalised feedback and attention. For larger groups, this workshop can be facilitated with less hands on, personalised activities and presented more formally.
Where will Annie travel to present?
Anywhere in the world! Annie has presented and facilitated workshops, been part of panels and spoken to groups in all parts of the globe; from Europe to much of Australia; most recently in Vienna at the International Conference for the Short Story.
She is happy to travel through the Southern Downs from Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Northern Coast of New South Wales from Ballina up to Coolangatta for the cost of petrol and workshop fees. Other places negotiable.
