Writing Workshop: Enthusiastic local writers had the opportunity to listen to a self-published author last week when Karina McRoberts from York visited the West Arthur CRC.
Karina who publishes hard copy books and also in online platforms talked about the writing process and how to get your writing out there to sell.
There was a lot of positive discussion in the workshop and many people left the workshop with ideas of their own percolating for a best seller!
