Everyone has a story to tell. What’s yours? Join Dianne Wolfer as she shares writing skills to help you develop an anecdote, create a memoir and explore history writing methods and techniques.
Dianne is the WA author of 20 books including the ‘Light’ series inspired by the WWI story of an Albany girl signaling to departing soldiers. That story led to three other titles linked to wartime history. Dianne has also written a WWII inspired picture book and children’s novel. More information about Dianne’s extensive writing and research can be found at diannewolfer.com

Dianne Wolfer has always loved animal stories. She explored this passion via doctoral research into anthropomorphism in Australian children’s literature. As part of this study, Dianne wrote two award-winning titles; ‘The Shark Caller’ and ‘The Dog With Seven Names’. Both books are Children’s Book Council of Australia Notables with the latter winning the Speech Pathology Award, shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s Awards and now published in Chinese. The former is contracted for film.
In this interactive session, Dianne will share practical tips about writing from diverse animal viewpoints. If you love Animal Farm, Call of the Wild, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Black Beauty or Pig the Pug, this workshop is for you. Come along and find out more about writing in this genre. For further information about anthropomorphism in literature go to Dianne’s website: animalswhotalk.com
