Family Sunday: Workshop with Kristin Darell

Acclaimed children’s author Kristin Darell will lead young writers to create a character and use their five senses to spark a new story idea. Following prompts and a step-by-step process, students will go on a journey of discovery, gathering all they need to solve their ultimate character equation. They’ll then have a chance to bring the start of the story to life — through writing, illustrating or both. Kristin’s simple formula makes the art of story creation fun, accessible, and something all kids can enjoy.

Kristin Darell is a Sydney-based writer and the best-selling author of 10 books for children, including her new middle grade series It’s a Twin Thing, and the popular junior fiction series Football Fever and Taronga Presents. After working as a broadcast journalist for more than 20 years, Kristin is now a passionate advocate for children’s literature and loves helping kids find new ways to share the stories of their time and their world.

Recommended for ages 6–12.

This creative writing workshop is presented in partnership with Sydney Writers’ Festival.
