Hosted by Ballarat Writers Inc.

Roll up your sleeves – this interactive workshop is designed to make your poem gleam.

Bring along some drafts and work through a range of guided activities that will have you appreciating your work in new and expansive ways. Be prepared to be challenged, you may need to kill your darlings, but the result will have you glistening in the slush pile.

Note: This class is designed to work with your existing drafts so please remember to bring them along.

Melissa will not see any of your work, nor will any be read aloud, so it is absolutely fine to bring the poems you are working on to submit to the Martha Richardson Memorial Poetry contest that Melissa will be judging.

(Read all about that here: https://ballaratwriters.com/the-martha-richardson-memorial-poetry-prize-2024/)

We will be stopping for a lunchbreak durng the session, so you are welcome to bring food to eat or go out and buy something in one of the many places nearby.

Non-members $20
