What makes a literary work truly original is not the degree of its polish, but the writer’s voice: their particular joy, angst, humour, credo, the word choices and the world views expressed. The emotional truth of the voice is everything in writing. Even the best story won’t work if you don’t get the voice right.
Explore what your voice is like in this hands-on workshop with Lee Kofman, and discover how to use your inner world, thoughts and emotions to nurture your literary projects.
Dr Lee Kofman is a Russian-born, Israeli-Australian author of three fiction books and two memoirs, including Imperfect (Affirm Press, 2019), which was shortlisted for the Nib Literary Award, and The Dangerous Bride (Melbourne University Press, 2014). She has also been co-editor of Rebellious Daughters (Ventura Press, 2016) and editor of Split (Ventura Press, 2019), which was longlisted for ABIA Awards – anthologies of memoir by prominent Australian authors.
Her short works have been widely published in Australia, the US and the UK, Israel and Canada; her blog was a finalist for Best Australian Blogs 2014. Lee’s most recent book is The Writer Laid Bare (Ventura Press), which is about writing.
