MAKE 2017 THE YEAR YOU MAKE IT AS A WRITER

Even though we are not yet in our exciting new premises, the workshop plan for next year has started.

​Some of Elaine's workshops for first part of the year (to June) are listed. Others will be added, along with more guest presenters.  

​But we already have one exciting guest presenter lined up. We are pleased to announce that award winning author Aleesah Darlison is going to present a new picture book workshop in July. The Inside Word on Picture Books will leave you buzzing with information and enthusiasm.

​Being good at High School English doesn't mean you can write a book.

Writing a great story of any kind requires much technical skill, but these skills can be learned. Like all professions, to be the best at what you do, you have to work at it. Many people can tell a story, but if it doesn’t excite and intrigue the reader on the first page, they won’t read on.

These skills are needed whatever you are writing: short story, picture book, chapter books for children, poems, memoirs, novels, etc. Every professional had to put in the hard yards to learn their vocation. A writer is no different. 


It is time to invest in your dream and take the courses you need.  The cost is very reasonable.

Go to our workshop page to learn more.

REVENGE IS SWEET, THEY SAY ...

​... but in this case, it is very HOT!

Authors are amazing people. They look at current social issues and let their imagination go wild. This book is one such book.

Examining the issues with child abuse by Catholic Clergy, this author has written a gripping story about how his protagonist dealt with the issue.  

Vengeance is a compelling thriller that covers the revenge of a victim of this abuse, not only on the perpetrator, but on others. You need to read the book to find out why.

But as in all good stories, there is a twist to the tale. One you won't see coming.

If you like gripping crime thrillers, you need to read this book.

It is available on the Gondor website as a paperback and on Amazon as an eBook.

SYNOPSIS:
Members of the Catholic clergy are going up in flames. The police are baffled. There seems to be no reason for the killings.

Detective Balu thinks he has found the answer, but following the trail leads him into more trouble than he can handle.

EXCITING NEWS!!

Gondor is on the move! As from December 9th Gondor Writers Centre will be located at Landsborough. This move has been prompted by the realisation that the location at Kilcoy was too far for many to get to easily. We will now be just minutes from the Sunshine Coast and North Brisbane and very close to the highway.

The facilities are set up better for workshops with a large room downstairs that has been used in the past for a business, a car park and public bathroom facilities.

​There is a little work to be done to make it ready, so we expect to open in early the new year. We will then have an opening party and invite all past attendees, SCBWI members, and other writer friends.

The venue will be offered to writers for book signings, meetings, and their personal workshops. I hope you can come and help us celebrate.
