Friday, March 15, 2013 at 9:17AM The regular creative writing class I run at Kensington Neighbourhood House has extended in 2013 and we're excited about The Writing Project.
Over five Saturdays throughout 2013 the group will create, edit and polish pieces of work that will then be published in November in a small collection.
We'll have guest speakers in throughout the year, experts in writing, editing and self-publishing.
It all kicks off tomorrow, Saturday 16th March!
Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:32AM Another awesome event run by Pop Up Playground, The Whispering Society was part of Melbourne's inaugural White Night Festival.
In role as writer-in-residence, I went, I whispered and I listened.
There is a story in the pipeline that will explain once and for all who The Whispering Society is and how it impacts on all of our lives ...
