Stories from the Crevice Communities – Symposium 2022

The Charles Sturt University Creative Practice Circle’s Crevice Communities Symposium is happening throughout next week (5 – 9 December 2022) in Wagga, NSW. I’ll be attending to present a short paper on my forthcoming book release ‘Ida: Searching for The Jazz Baby’. My thanks to the Australian Government’s Arts and Cultural Development Program, Regional Arts Australia and Regional Arts Victoria who are providing me with travel and accommodation support.

This link is to the Symposium Website and aganda. It’s an interesting program and I think it will be a cracker.

Rainforest Writing Retreat – 2019

Just a little shout out for the Rainforest Writing Retreat, which I attended last May (2018).

It’s a live-in retreat in a simply magnificent setting, with a series of masterclasses and around 50 attendees maximum.

I’m informed there are only a few places left so I thought I’d give a plug here, because I owe this Retreat.

It was my attendance at the Retreat that persuaded me that the time was right to transition from writer to author and that the tools needed to help me achieve the transition were available, professional and affordable.

Find out about this year’s retreat at their website, here.
