THE ART OF REVIEWING WITH CLAIRE MABEY
Claire Mabey
How do reviews work? What makes a great one – a piece of literature in itself?
Join Claire Mabey (books editor, The Spinoff) for a workshop to analyse book, film, music, and theatre reviews to discover the secrets to crafting useful, entertaining, and thoughtful conversations about art.
Presented in collaboration with NZ Society of Authors Top of the South branch.
All books will be on sale through our festival bookstore partner, Paper Plus Nelson, both in store at 237 Trafalgar Street Nelson, online, and at our Pukapuka Talks venues – get your copies signed by the authors after their session! If you’re buying online, please select the Nelson store to collect in person.
