Winner of the Masterclass in Children’s Writing with Kate de Goldi

We are delighted to announce that Jeannie Skinner is the winner of the Masterclass in Children’s Writing with Kate de Goldi.

A huge thank you again to everyone who generously donated to our fundraising effort to deliver books to Te Tai Tokerau /Northland Schools through The Fledge Trust. Your support will make a real difference.

Kate De Goldi is a much-loved novelist, children’s and short story writer whose award-winning books engage readers of all ages. She has held many fellowships, including the Michael King Fellowship, is a former Arts Foundation Laureate, as well as being a respected broadcaster and public speaker. Kate is also a huge advocate for the importance and promotion of reading for young people.

Kate’s Masterclass will run for 90 minutes as a one-on-one session. (Depending on location, it will be held either in person or online.) She will offer enjoyable exercises to shake up writing habits; ways of generating ideas; approaches to character development, dialogue, sentence-making and revision.
