Fill your holiday period with these wonderful writing events. There’s a range of events on our December – January calendar, including live theatre, creative workshops, author talks, and more!

Take a look at what we’ve read in November – a gripping Aussie crime, a Miles Franklin winner, a mental health anthology and more!

“As writers, we must consider questions of freedom of speech and expression as being inextricably linked to questions of responsibility, positionality and context. These are ethical questions but they are also questions of craft, skill and imaginative labour.”

“Having a background in research helps me apply methods for gathering and assessing information necessary to ground my work and colour my stories with fascinating historical details.”

“The theme and style of stories are varied, some are close to magic realism, some directly related to Persian folklore and some realistic experience of first-generation migrant life experience in Australia.”

“The story is very much about friendship, and it’s been an interesting parallel that the people I’ve met while writing it have helped me understand what community truly is.”
