Overview

The Friends of the National Library present two multi-talented award-winning authors in conversation – Alison Goodman and Sue Williams.

Alison and Sue will be joined by Professor Kate Mitchell from the Australian National University to explore the craft of historical fiction writing. Together they will untangle the role of research, character development, crafting fictitious worlds and the representation of historical figures.

Please make a booking via the National Library website.

Following the presentation, Alison and Sue will be available for book signings in the foyer.
