Sunday Morning Group for long projects
Working on a book-length project brings its own particular challenges, and often requires stamina, the ability to renew one’s enthusiasm as the project progresses, self-belief, continued belief in the project, and an ability to manage large amounts of material and sculpt it into some semblance of coherence.
FAWWA runs a monthly peer-support group where members who are working on a book-length project in any genre can meet to discuss and share aspects of their working process, read excerpts from their work if desired, and build strong networks with others in the writing community.
The group meets on the third Sunday morning of each month from 10.00-12.30, and is coordinated by Dr Iris Lavell. Iris has completed two full length projects – a PhD in English and Comparative Literature, and a novel to be published by Fremantle Press in 2013. She is planning to recommence work on another novel, once the editing process for the current book has been completed.
We are a collaborative group, and the content of the meetings will be responsive to the group’s particular concerns from month to month. The cost is $10 per session for members and $15 for non-members, and this goes to FAWWA to cover hire of the venue and light refreshments.
If you are interested in joining the group contact FAWWA or Iris at iriswriter@gmail.com
