Join Ballardong writer and editor Casey Mulder and Yamatji author Mabel Gibson for a 3-hour guided creative writing workshop at Centre for Stories.

By the end of this structured writing session, you will have produced a piece of poetry, prose, memoir or other form of writing to be published by Centre for Stories. You are also encouraged to bring a piece of writing you have already started or would like to workshop with feedback from the group.

All ages and levels of experience are welcome. If you don’t feel comfortable writing, we can help you to record and/or transcribe your oral story.

Lunch will be provided. You can let us know when you register for a ticket if you have any allergies or intolerances.

This event was made possible with generous support from the Spinifex Foundation.
