Celebrate new works and fresh writing talent in this special EWF24 edition of The Wheeler Centre’s much-loved Next Big Thing readings series.

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.

Enjoy a mini workshop to inject some hands-on energy into the day. Take a stab at finessing your own work with the guidance of a seasoned editor.

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.
