BWC Writers Explore May – Culture & Connection – Find Your Flavour! Story with Troy Hunter

Important Update

Please note:

– Until further notice, due to building works, entry to the library is via the rear doors in Lyttleton Terrace… please ring the BWC bell if we’re not there to welcome you.

In this workshop we’ll be exploring connections to culture and drawing on personal history to write authentic stories and poems. You will learn how to tap into your heritage and weave what you already know into the fabric of your writing. The best literature has a unique voice that is both specific and universal. Come along to this workshop and find your flavour!
