Writing in a contemporary genre means not only writing something people want to read, but also creating something that transports and touches the reader. In this workshop participants look at the professional writers’ job of not just writing the book that best makes use of his or her unique voice, style and perspective of the world, but also selling it to the audience who will love it.

Kirsty Brooks is the author of The Vodka Dialogue, The Happiness Punch, The Millionaire Float, The Lady Splash, Hitching: Tales from the Byways and Superhighways, Mad Love and Lady Luck. She has a journalism degree, an advanced diploma in Professional Writing and was awarded the Barbara Hanrahan Fellowship. She is the director of Driftwood Manuscripts and is currently writing Bossy Boots and The Tequila Bikini.
