Emerging Writers’ Festival Roadshow 2014
Sydneysiders finally get their fill of writerly goodness.
Overview
Good news for Sydneysiders of a wordy bent: the Emerging Writers' Festival Roadshow is returning, and they're bringing with them one of their always winning programs of engaging writing, thought-provoking panels and talented peeps.
As usual, the main event is a full-day affair at the NSW Writers' Centre with a line-up featuring a whole bunch of cool people who do good things with words. Benjamin Law and Delia Falconer give you writing advice in a segment called The 5 X 5 Rules of Writing, members of the SWEATSHOP writing group share their workshopping process, and emerging indigenous writers tell stories in the garden. Fuel your mind with Mexican food from Mobile Cantina, and then join everyone for drinks on the verandah and bask in your inspired end-of-the-day buzz.
There are also a handful of events happening either side of the Saturday festival — the sadly sold-out Inside the Publishing House, a seminar on writing digital literature, and the hit Melbourne event celebrating great ladies, Amazing Babes. The EWF Roadshow is all about connecting writers and forming communities. So go ahead: connect, form, do amazing things!
