Teenagers aged 12 to 18 years of age are invited to join author Jack Heath for a creative writing workshop these school holidays.

In this fast, frenzied and funny workshop, Jack Heath will give you the beginning of a story. Your mission is to race against the clock to complete it. You’ll learn to manage prickly plots, charismatic characters, sinister settings and more as you get feedback from Jack and from your classmates. If you’re a writer, a reader, or just a bold thrill-seeker, this session is for you!

This workshop is targeted at teenagers aged 12 to 18 years of age, and bookings are essential.

While parents and guardians are welcome to stay and watch, each person who will be participating in this workshop will require a ticket.
