The Power of Story: a writer's journey (Bacchus Marsh)

Details

Drawing on three decades as a writer of fiction and non-fiction, ranging from short story and features, to novels and memoir, Zable will explore the inspirations, literary influences, sources of ideas, and practical lessons learnt in confronting the empty page, and bringing many works to fruition.

The journey has led to an understanding of the humanising power of story, and how to give voice to oneself, and how to inspire others to find their voice.
