UTS Verge Arts Festival 2008 – Writers’ luncheon
September 8th 2008 05:32
I began my career as a law lecturer so I have a soft spot for universities and the young folk who mill around their halls and grassy verges in search of meaning and edible canteen food. Some of my happiest memories, my most inspired debates, my most contested opinions were formed at university. In fact, if I could have just pressed the pause button on my own life, I would have loved to have remained a perpetual student, endlessly scrabbling around in theories, politics and philosophies that titillated my brain. Universities brim with that elixir of life – possibility.
It’s been a while since I’ve frequented a campus. But I’ve been invited on Wednesday to UTS to present a workshop on writing as part of the Verge Arts Festival from 1- 14 September, a fringe festival that ‘aims to promote meaningful and continuous collaboration between the university and broader community with a focus on unique, unconventional and innovative artistic endeavors.’ I doubt that I am hip enough to be considered ‘fringe,’ (certainly my kids will tell you I am a complete dag) but I’ll be talking about writing, making a career as an author and the world of publishing generally, and fielding all questions I wish I could have asked before I committed myself to writing as a career.
The details are:
Wednesday 10 September 2008
11AM - 1PM
The Reading Room, Holme
Free
Proudly presented by the Coop Bookshop.
It is an informal forum for aspiring writers. And if I am not enough of a draw card, this ought to be: lunch and refreshments will be provided.
