This is the first of three posts with information just sent by Bruno. I hope these are just as sensational as our Write Out -- I'm sure they will be. Please note that this Rotunda event is free of charge, so if you're going to be in or near Werribee on Saturday, why not come along? Students and community members last year raved about it.

How would you like to try some quick fire writing exercises all in the spirit of high adventure "where you can sling words around with impunity"?
How would you like to be doing those try-out writing activities under the guiding gentle/encouraging hand of a writing teacher experienced in that genre?
How do domains like poetry, fiction, memoir, film scripts tickle your fancy?

Would you like to follow that surge of your own writing with a slink-down-low-in-your-chair listening to a vibrant panel of renowned writers answering all your questions-yes, you the audience firing the questions?
