Ever wonder what happens when a book turns into a movie? Come hang out with Kathryn Lefroy, the author and screenwriter behind 'Whale Shark Jack', and find out!

She'll spill the secrets: What's HARD about writing for a book? What's different when you're writing for a movie? What's the weirdest thing that happened on set? There will be laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, and interactive activities. Bring your imagination, your questions, and your creative chaos. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to have fun!

This is a free event but bookings are encouraged.
