Writing workshops for wonderful wordsmiths!

The Children's Book Council NSW branch holds excellent writers workshop for high school students each year in partnership with the NSW State Library.

 Further details and flyers are found on the website.

They operate on 2 levels.  A Beginers course and an Ádvanced course is offered by each author.

Yes, they do cost $70 per student per session. Scholarships are available.


Bring your pen and imagination to one class or to the entire program; level 1 is for new students and level 2 is for returning students who want to develop their creative writing further.
 Please see below and make your selection.

These are top notch workshops and can be made more  financially accessible through a scholarship program. These provide invaluable writing experiences for your keen writers in the wonderful environment of the State Library.

I've gone to variations of most of these and am happy to share further info beyond the details on the website.
