SUMMARY:Shut Up and Write!
DESCRIPTION:Writing is often treated as something you do alone. The Wheeler Centre offers an alternative: write alongside others\, without comparison or competition. \nOver the years\, the phrase ‘shut up and write’ has travelled widely. What began as a simple\, practical mantra has become a global movement embraced by writers seeking focus\, accountability and a sense of shared purpose. At its heart is a straightforward idea: set aside distractions\, gather in a welcoming space and dedicate time to the page.  \nShut Up and Write! sessions at The Wheeler Centre are open to writers of all kinds – from novelists and poets to academics\, journalists and anyone keen to get words on the page. No critiquing and no pressure to share your work. Instead\, the emphasis is on carving out protected time to write within a supportive community.  \nWhether you’re starting something new or returning to a long-awaited draft\, these sessions offer structure\, camaraderie and the quiet motivation that comes from writing together.  \nHosted by Xanthea O’Connor. \n  \nPresented in partnership with Writers Victoria

SUMMARY:Between the Lines: Storytelling Salon
DESCRIPTION:There’s a kind of magic that only happens after dark. \nBetween the Lines is a monthly gathering of storytellers and story-listeners held in at the Chestnut Tree Bookshop\, West Footscray. It’s warm. It’s strange. It’s real. And it’s open to anyone willing to speak from the heart—or simply sit in the dark and listen. \nEach month we explore a different theme—something to stir your memory\, quicken your pulse\, or crack you open just a little. These stories aren’t read from a page. They’re lived\, spoken\, and shared in real time. \nNo props. No scripts. Just you and the room. \nWANT TO SHARE A STORY? SIGN UP HERE
