PEN Melbourne

Writing is often viewed as a solitary act, but a fresh set of eyes on your work can make a world of difference. Bring along a work-in-progress piece and join us for a hands-on workshop session.

In reality, most writing is really editing – and few can do it alone! Hear from book and journal editors, publishers, and literary industry experts about the editor-writer relationship, the purpose and ethics of editing, and everything that goes into revising your writing with rigour.

How can we bring artistry into our daily lives, beyond our writing practice? From slowing down and surrendering to the process, to imbuing our rituals and routines with beauty and curiosity.

Marketing yourself is a new, crucial component of getting your work out there. In this micro-workshop, brush up on the basics of existing online as a writer.
