We all arrived before 9am, waiting in the midst of a sultry and casual morning outside the doors of christchurch south library, to observe and to take note of these adept authors and illustrators who were to define there occupation and to briefly inform us about how to create a more surpassing piece of writing.
We first gathered together to listen to the organiser who elucidated us about the eminent authors and illustrators history. As the minutes continued we followed on to our first writing learning session with Tusiata Avia who guided us through the steps of making a poem then continued after with Helen Taylor who defined what it is like to be an author while an illustator she taught us to cope with criticism and changes exposed . After Andrew M.Bell talked about the 5 senses- smell,sight,touch,taste and hear. We continued with a 20minute interval and endured on to our next lesson with Bill Nagelkerke who talked to us about how to catch the readers attention then carried on with a skilled artist Ant Sang who helped illustrate 'bro town' and informed us about how to create a comic strip, next we moved on to our final lesson with Ben Brown who spoke about how changing words can make a difference and where the beginning of a story is, the title.
Overall it was an educational and pleasant experince that i among many enjoyed.
