Community members need to book a spot fast for the Writing Workshop with Sandra Shotlander – Telling Your Stories, which will be hosted by the Swan Hill Library on Saturday, 29 October 2011 at 10.00 am.

Part of the 2011 Go North Arts Festival, the workshop will encourage participants to write with spontaneity, as well as finding their own voice, descriptive imagery and language, and developing characters and storyline without contriving.

After an introduction, a light physical warm up and focusing exercise, participants will then write in the workshop, and after completing the writing exercises, can share their work and receive feedback.

Manager Cultural Development and Libraries Camille Cullinan encouraged community members to book in for the workshop, and said it was the opportunity to learn the process of story telling.

“This will be a great workshop for anyone who has ever wanted to learn about the art of story telling and how they can put pen to paper and tell their own story.”

Attendees should dress in comfortable clothing for the warm up and bring a pen and paper to write.
