Emerging Writers Festival

Writing The West

What draws artists to write about the west? In this panel, three writers will discuss their work, their views on place, community engaged art, and the importance of celebrating the western suburbs in their work.

Writing Your World

Learn from one of the best in the west, Sam van Zweden, on how to incorporate the world around you into your writing in a respectful, accurate and nuanced way. This special workshop will encourage you to look around, engage with your surroundings and strengthen the way you write about community, place and personal histories.
