20 writers will gather at the Salamanca Arts Centre this weekend to slam out 30 000 words each as they compete with teams in Brisbane, Melbourne and online as part of the Emerging Writers Festival.
The writers are from a wide range of backgrounds and come with very different writing experience and goals.
This event is a fantastic, free opportunity for enthusiastic writers from all works of life and writing backgrounds to come together and indulge in a weekend of dedicated writing in a supportive environment.
It is an exercise in getting the writing juices flowing and not in the refining or editing process.
Island provides the space (the Meeting Room at the Salamanca Arts Centre), inspirational resources and a friendly and supportive host.
Island is delighted to be working with the Emerging Writers’ Festival and The Queensland Writers’ Centre to bring this event to fruition.
