Budding writers can feast their thoughts on writing workshops in Sunbury.
Author Beverley Eikli will be hosting two writing workshops in July and August at the Sunbury Youth and Library Centre.
“The library wanted to make available a couple of workshops for people in the area that are interested in writing, whether it was fiction writing, or memoir writing, for people to come along and just trial it for a couple of sessions,” Eikli said.
“Each session is an hour and a half and the idea of having it a month apart is so that people can get fired up with enthusiasm in the first session and then go back and work on what they learnt on the first sessions.”
Eikli said the workshops were a great way for aspiring writers to hone in on their writing skills.
“I am looking forward to the development and seeing what they’ve come up within the month in between and then working with them to send them in the right direction,” she said.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for people with a broad range of interests to come along and see what the potential is for developing their own writing,” she said.
“Sometimes people don’t know how they want to approach their life stories or their stories so I think a class like this is really to help people decide on the approach they want to take on their family stories or their fiction.”
The workshops will be on July 27 and August 24 at 51-53 Evans Street Sunbury, 10-11.30am both days.
