SO YOU WANT TO BE A WRITER? (FOR ASPIRING AUTHORS OVER 50)

Elizabeth Jolly, Kit de Waal, Raymond Chandler, Annie Proulx, Frank McCourt, Vicki Laveau-Harvie. What do these writers have in common? They were all over 50 before they had their first book published.

This 5x 1.5 hour weekly* and interactive workshop is for the mature aged writer who wants to flex their imagination and their writing muscles. It will explore what it is to be a writer, how we harness our ideas and experiences and how to get words on the page despite our self-doubts and barriers. This course received rave reviews from previous participants. We are thrilled to have it return to our program! Limited capacity — don't miss out.

Julie Keys has been shortlisted for the Richell and the MUD Literary Prizes. Her debut novel The Artist’s Portrait was published by Hachette in 2019 when she was 57. She holds a PhD in Creative Arts from the University of Wollongong.

*PLEASE NOTE: There will not be a class on Sunday November 16th.
