The author of more than 30 books, Kim Wilkins is returning to the Burdekin for two special one-off events, hosted by the Burdekin Readers & Writers Association.
Burdekinite’s have a rare chance to attend a meet & greet with Kim, who has been published in more than 20 languages and won numerous accolades, to hear how she’s done it at a newly established pop-up bar at 148 Queen St, along with attending her writing workshop.
“We feel very fortunate and honoured that Kim accepted our invite to come to the Bur-dekin,” says Mark T. Rasmussen, (VP of the Burdekin Readers & Writers Associa-tion).
“Kim is a recognised expert on storytelling, popular literature, and the publishing in-dustry, which will not only benefit the many creatives we are lucky to have here in the community, but generate much wider interest by those fascinated by Kim’s stories and success.”
With her latest historical fiction novel, The Secret Year of Zara Holt (written under the pseudonym of Kimberley Freeman) now a bestseller, the anticipation in the commu-nity is building.
The Secret Year of Zara Holt covers the life of Zara, from the night she met former Prime Minister Harold Holt at a college dance in Melbourne in 1927, until his fateful swim 40 years later off Cheviot beach in Portsea.
With a first class honours degree in literature, an MA, and PhD, Kim, who is currently Professor of Writing at the University of Queensland, comes with serious credentials.
“When the idea was first floated to host Kim, we immediately jumped on it. Since then, she’s been amazing, giving us a large chunk of her time with these two one-off events here in the Burdekin,” says Mark.
“We’re hopeful that a budding author finds inspiration from Kim Wilkins and goes on to write a future award winning novel,” he adds.
Tickets to ‘Cocktails & Conversations’ (Friday Oct 31) or Kim’s ‘Structure & Style: Telling Compelling and Beautiful Stories’ Writing Workshop (Saturday Nov 1, 10am-3pm) can be purchased online at: www.burdekinraw.org.au/events or in person from Home Hill News & Coffee or Dominque’s boutique in Ayr.
