The Emerging Writers’ Festival work, learn and play largely on the land of the Kulin nation, and pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.
EWF celebrates the history and creativity of the world’s oldest living culture.
The Early Words are low-pressure workshops to help you get started on something. Create for your eyes only or get an idea for a larger project going, with guidance from a facilitator and support from the other writers taking part – all writing levels are welcome!
Join poet Panda Wong to play a morning round of poetry. Lean into the irreverent impulse in contemporary poetry to see the form not as a site for the serious and stately, but as a place to be playful, restless and questioning.
