Have something you want to write?
Or have you been working on something but not sure what’s next?
It could be prose or poetry or spoken word, fiction or non-fiction.
We are seeking a group of new Victorian based writers who will be invited to attend a free masterclass in short fiction with an award winning facilitator. The workshop will take place in early February, 2022. After developing a 3 minute piece of writing, you will read it at the Blak & Bright First Nations Literary Festival over the weekend of 19 – 20 March, 2022, for which you will be paid $100.
To apply, send 200 words of your writing to monique@blakandbright.com.au by EOD 20 December. We will let you know by the end of December if you have been selected.
