Varuna, the National Writers’ House is pleased to bring another free 6-week writing group program to Western Sydney for writers with disability.

Facilitated by Fiona Murphy and co-facilitated by former Writer’s Space participant Shannon Anima, each session of this free writing course will focus on a different theme – from idea generation to developing compelling characters.

Using writing prompts and exercises, we’ll spend time writing in a fun and supportive environment. We will also chat about the writing life, including submitting work for publication and how to stay motivated!

In the final week, there will be a special Q&A session with a guest writer.

Places are limited to 12 participants.

Dates: Saturdays 10am-12pm, 26 October – 30 November 2024
Venue: St Marys Library, 207-209 Queen St, St Marys
Fees: FREE
Places: 12 places are available.
Who should register: This program welcomes writers with disability at all levels of experience, working in any genre.

This program is generously supported by Penrith City Library, Create NSW and the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
