I’m going to be running a 1-day intro to games writing on May 3rd at AFTRS here in Melbourne. Anyone interested can register here.
This’ll be different, and way more in-depth, than the 2-hour Express Media workshop later in the month.
And if you didn’t hear – we announced this year’s Freeplay festival too.
I’m running a writing for games workshop with Express Media and the Emerging Writers’ Festival on May 22nd.
Details from the Express Media site are:

Games, like all mediums, have their own strengths and weaknesses as a storytelling medium. This workshop takes a look at what makes games tick, what you can learn from traditional forms, and what you should know about the expressive power of mechanics.
