Masterclass with Kim Mahood, H.C. Coombs Fellow in 2014

This three-hour workshop is designed for academics who feel that there is an idea buried in their academic work that deserves exposure outside the confines of the university.

It will offer techniques and suggestions for transforming academic writing into something resembling the contemporary essay, suitable for journals such as Meanjin, The Griffith Review and Quarterly Essay.

Participants should bring a sample of their own work that they are prepared to discuss, dissect and rewrite.

Kim Mahood is the author of the Craft for a Dry Lake (2000) which won the NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Non-fiction in 2001. She has been awarded a Peter Blazey Fellowship, a Varuna Writer’s Retreat Fellowship and an Australia Council Fellowship at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland. Her writing appears regularly in The Griffith Review, and her essays have appeared several times in Best Australian Essays.
