Join Rebecca Giggs for a writing workshop on non-fiction writing. With a focus on true stories, we will cover elements of craft, style, technique as well as where to place work for publication. A collaborative and open environment for writers at all stages to hear from an established and internationally recognise voice.

Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Emergence, the New York Review of Books, Granta, and in anthologies including Best Australian Essays and Best Australian Science Writing. Rebecca’s writing focuses on the natural world and animals in particular: the power animals hold over us and the duties we owe to other species, given the ecological and technological transformations of our age. Rebecca’s debut book Fathoms: The World in the Whale has been translated into several languages, including Korean, Italian, Mandarin, Slovakian and Spanish.
Space limited to 12 people.
