The Australian Association of Writing Programs

dear all

ASA is bringing an amazing person to Sydney to run a workshop on comics and graphic novels. Her name is Colleen Doran, and I'm attaching a flyer about her, and about the workshop. Dates are 19-20 November (you could attend just before coming up to Byron for the conference!), prices are extremely reasonable, and the project sounds great. 

If you have trouble opening the flyers, email me directly : jen.webb@canberra.edu.au

best, Jen
