The Writer’s Space Writing Group

Join us for this free 6-week writing program for writers with disability, held in conjunction with Varuna the National Writers' House.

Varuna the National Writers' House is bringing Writer's Space back!  

Facilitated by former Writer's Space participant Shannon Anima, each session of this free writing course will focus on a different theme – from idea generation to developing compelling characters.  

Using writing prompts and exercises, we’ll spend time writing in a fun and supportive environment. We will also chat about the writing life, including submitting work for publication and how to stay motivated!  

The workshop series is free but bookings are essential. Places are limited to 12 participants. 

 Booking for the first session is confirmation of attendance at all 6 sessions:

• 24 April

• 8 May

• 22 May
• 29 May
