The WRITE NOW Festival is back for another year!
This one day event invites aspiring writers of all genres and mediums to discover different pathways to becoming professional writers. Participants will enjoy a day of masterclasses, panel talks and workshops with inspiring authors and writers across a range of writing experiences - there is sure to be something to spike the interest of any budding writer!
Workshop faciliators to include:
- Finegan Kruckemeyer (award-winning playwright)
- Lili Wilkinson (author, A Hunger of Thorns )
- Troy Hunter (author, Gus and the Missing Boy)
- Michael Bollen (Publisher, Wakefield Press)
The full program will be released in January 2025.
We recommend registering a limited number of students with an interest in creative writing, rather than a whole class.
