Guntis Talers

The first in our Writers’ Toolbox series. Learn what makes a great short story by analysing your own favourites.

Start the morning with an intuitive walk around Melbourne followed by a writing session. Walking can allow the mind to process information and shake new ideas loose. Likewise, exploration and observation of built and natural environments can inspire thought and help us create new connections for our writing.

Hear from writer, artist and producer Madison Griffiths about how she integrates risk, ritual and passion into her creative practice, to make for a fulfilling and sustainable career in the arts.

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.
