  Writing Resonant Fiction
  

  Writing Resonant Fiction will be a practical session based on discussion and writerly experimentation. In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to mull over ideas of what resonance actually is and how it works, supported by examples from literature. Kate will also provide you with a series of writerly experiments designed to serve the intuitive spark of resonance.
  

  Kate Kruimink is a writer from southern Lutruwita. Her novel Heartsease won the Tasmanian Premier’s Prize for Fiction in 2025 and was shortlisted in the Christina Stead Prize, and her novella Astraea won the UK’s Weatherglass Novella Prize. Her first book, A Treacherous Country, won the 2020 Vogel/Australian’s Literary Award, was shortlisted in the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction and longlisted in the UK for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction. She also writes short stories, poems and essays, which have been published widely. Kate is the fiction editor for Island magazine.
