The South Coast Writers Centre (SCWC) has International Women’s Day covered at Coledale Community Hall with a grand event on Saturday, March 6.
In a powerhouse partnership by the ladies from LadyMoon Productions, SCWC and The Eve Project, “The Grand Dress” celebrates International Woman’s Day with an evening of entertainment by comedian Malika, comic singer/songwriter Tia Wilson, spoken word poets Medusa’s Daughters, and indie-folk trio Rare Birdz, plus a two-course dinner.
$40 from each ticket will go directly to the evening’s caterers, The Eve Project, a social enterprise that exists to support, empower and equip female survivors of abuse.
SCWC will have a big pack of recent women’s literature up for raffle.
MC Shane Ladymoon will be donning her ballgown for the night and she encourages attendees to crack out their best frock as well.
Build a creative brand
On 20th March, Annette Loughlin-Smith, the Chair of SCWC’s board, will be taking creatives of any discipline through the tricks of building their own creative brand.
Sign up for school-holiday events
Then on April 12 and 13, the centre’s School Holiday Program returns bigger and better.
Children’s writer Sandy Fussell brings back her Minecrafting stories workshop and Young Writers Program lead Helena Fox nurtures budding authors.
The program will have A.L. Tait, author of The Mapmaker Chronicles, and award-winning illustrator Dale Newman; plus, in association with the Children’s Book Council of Australia – Illawarra, free book reading sessions for preschoolers.
There will be kids book on sale, and your keen readers will be able to get their book signed by the author. Keep your eye out for the full program coming soon.
Boost your creative writing
If you are working on a creative writing project, SCWC has writing groups in the Hall every week. On Mondays you can start your week with some productive writing time in the company of fellow writers at a lightly facilitated drop-in group, convened by writer and editor Linda Godfrey.
Then end the week with SCWC’s 2021 Writer in Residence, author Julie Keys, and a writing day on Friday. You can join Julie for quiet morning writing, then stay for an informal chat on all things about writing and books.
Both writers’ groups are free for SCWC members; however, registration is required.
