I have returned from my tour of schools and libraries in the Cairns region, where I gave workshops for aspiring writers. As well as visits to a school and a library in Cairns, I also visited the regional towns of Mareeba, Atherton, Tully, Innisfail and Mossman. Travelled 650 kms and spoke to hundreds of school kids, and a surprising number of adults, who wanted some tips on how to write stories.
I’d like to thank Catholic Education, Education Queensland and the Councils of Cairns, Cassowary Coast and Tablelands for looking after me so well
