How do you write a work of genius? Many people think authors sit down and write a masterpiece, starting at the first page and ending at the last, in one burst of inspiration. The truth is that most of the authors we know and love work hard revising and refining, sometimes endlessly tweaking their work before they feel it is ready. And their manuscrupts -- handwritten drafts left for posterity--document this process. This workshop explores the writing process of some well-known authors, using Oscar Wilde as our primary example. We'll try to decipher his handwritten manuscripts to track his writing process, and hopefully learn some tricks for refining our own writing.
This Masterclass is open to students in Years 10, 11, 12 and 13.
