Do you have big dreams of writing a novel, penning a poem or publishing your own zine?
Or do you have something to say, but you're not quite sure how to get it out into the world?
This is your chance to meet and learn from some of Australia’s most exciting and inspiring storytellers in a free school holiday writing program for 12- to 15-year-olds.
Over three days you'll explore story, poetry and performance, building your creative skills and finding out how to turn your passion into a career.
