Fiona Weir: Telling short-form stories

Next date: Tuesday, 26 November 2024 | 04:30 AM to 05:30 PM

Not all stories are told in long form. In this session we’ll talk about telling stories in bite-size chunks – in newsletters, Substacks, blogs, newspaper and magazine columns, and sometimes cookbooks. We’ll explore narrative non-fiction and memoir, how to find your authorial voice and your audience, and how to think about what kind of writer you are. This is a session to inspire you to get started and all about telling your story in short form.

Fiona Weir is a cheesemaker and farmer in Gerringong, NSW. Fiona and her husband Adam raise dairy goats, meat chickens, laying hens, pigs and bees, and they make cheese and operate a commercial farm kitchen that produces ferments and other deliciousness. On top of that, they grow coffee and cut flowers and run a cooking school teaching traditional food skills, such as sourdough baking, cheesemaking and fermentation. From Scratch is a cheerful collection of recipes, and a simple guide to making your own food and staples, starting at the very beginning.
