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.
We kick things off with a workshop about what makes a great short story. Participants are encouraged to bring in their favourite short story, to dissect what exactly makes it so engaging. Participants will highlight a feature of one of these short stories to use as a prompt for their own short story.

BLINDSIDE & EWF present the Ekphrastic Writing Program. This initiative invites four emerging writers to produce an ekphrastic response to an exhibition from Blindside ARI’s 20-year exhibition archive, culminating in a night of celebratory readings, where writers will share the works created, in front of the very artworks they have responded to.
Indulge in one hour of shared sustained silence, in a simple ritual to concentrate on the thing we want to do — but so often find many reasons not to — write.
Experience the creative potential of e-literature via this digital poetry workshop. You’ll be guided through real-time HTML, CSS and JavaScript edits—no previous experience required.
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.
