Joe Ducie

Joe Ducie is the author of the riveting and enormously popular YA novels, The Rig and Crystal Force. He has a degree in Counterterrorism, Security and Intelligence, so when not writing stories he works in border protection, liaises between domestic and international military forces and consults privately on security. This means he gets to live out of a suitcase whilst traveling to some fascinating places dotted around the world.

Workshops ( Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 ): Counterterrorism: writing to set your pulse racing!

Joe will use real world examples from his work in counterterrorism to explain how individual experiences/emotions can feed your writing. Using images from Joe's work as a springboard, you will write a story inspired by that image.
