Mia Nie is a Chinese-Australian comic artist, essayist, illustrator, zine-maker, award-nominated ex-poet and resident arts industry party girl based in Naarm (Melbourne). She was recently published in the anthology Avast! Pirate Stories from Transgender Authors from Fremantle Press, and works as creative producer at Express Media.
The first in our Writers’ Toolbox series. Learn what makes a great short story by analysing your own favourites.
Led by writer Tiia Kelly, this workshop will suggest ways to apply slowness as a framework for thinking about your work, the writing process, and the wider industry.
Enjoy a mini workshop to inject some hands-on energy into the day. Take a stab at finessing your own work with the guidance of a seasoned editor.
Start the morning with an intuitive walk around Melbourne followed by a writing session. Walking can allow the mind to process information and shake new ideas loose. Likewise, exploration and observation of built and natural environments can inspire thought and help us create new connections for our writing.
