Following the hugely successful Inaugural Newstead Young Writers Festival, Newstead Writers invite young people aged 15-18 years to be part of an exciting series of workshops with award-winning local writer Cate Kennedy.
Cate’s work has been published in The New Yorker, shortlisted for the Australian Literary Gold Medal, and The World Beneath was awarded the People’s Choice prize at the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards.
Her work includes poetry, short stories and novels. Her two short story collections have been texts on the VCE syllabus for some years and she is in demand as a fiction writing teacher and mentor.
She loves the structure and surprises of narrative prose and poetry and completed her PhD in Creative Writing in 2021.
You will be supported through your holiday writing goal in this eight-week writing project as Cate works with you, exploring the principles of great writing as you release your inner creativity.
Cate will host two workshops at the Newstead Arts Hub and the RedShed, over the December – January school holidays, with a Zoom check-in the in middle.
Complete an expression of interest form online and dates and affordable prices (about $80) for the Holiday Writing Program will be finalised when there are 10+ participants willing to take part.
Let your friends know. There may be the potential for scholarships.
