Mark Sweet, Catherine Robertson and Cristina Sanders in conversation with Lizzie Russell.
Bestselling authors Mark Sweet (The History Speech), Catherine Robertson (Gabriel’s Bay) and Cristina Sanders (Jerningham) chat about how they create vibrant characters from observing the people and scenes around them.
Their latest novels offer a glimpse into the writer’s magpie life of gathering personalities, places, words and styles and merging them into consistently fascinating, recognisable characters that thrill, induce tears and provoke laughter.
Cristina Sanders is a historical fiction writer and winner of the Storylines Tessa Duder award. Mark Sweet (Ngā Māhanga, Titahi, Taranaki) is the author of two novels, 'Zhu Mao' and 'The History Speech'. Catherine Robertson has published six bestselling novels and is a respected book critic.
Workshop Offering: Introduction to writing and publishing fiction - Catherine Robertson, Friday 16 October 1:30pm, $30, places limited. Book separately at hbaf.co.nz
In conjunction with the Hawkes Bay Readers and Writers Festival.
