Writers 2000 to host travel writing workshop
The Writers 2000 workshop will be conducted by author, Mr David Robbins, who has extensive experience in the field.
Writers 2000 will host a travel writing workshop on August 29 from 10.30am to 12-noon.
The workshop will be conducted by author, Mr David Robbins, who has extensive experience in the field.
Mr Robbins was the judge of the non fiction section of W2000’s recent Annual Writing Competition.
When giving feedback on the entries submitted he said, “Today the distinction between fiction and non fiction writing has become blurred. Non fiction stories can often feel almost fictional.”
The theme of the non fiction section of the competition was Travel and Mr Robbins presented prizes to the following members:
First place – Ms Geraldine Wilkins for The Big Lie. She wrote about her husband’s childhood experience of being sent to Australia during World War 2.
The second prize was given to Ms Jenny Vago for her account of cruising on the Volga River, titled Cruising the Volga.
Mr Nicolette Bosman took third place for A Cheesy Day, which is based on an account of a visit to the Kaasmaakerij in Magaliesberg.
The cost is R120 for non-members and R60 for W2000 members.
Mr Robbins will also be the group’s speaker at the afternoon meeting which will take place from 1.30pm for 2pm. He will speak about his travel experiences and writing.
Both events will take place at the Inyoni Creek Clubhouse, Rand Aid Complex.
