The very very funny and talented Simmone Howell is conducting a teen writing workshop at Sandringham library in the beautiful beachside suburb in southeast Melbourne. If you know someone who might like to go, pass it on.

WRITE ACTION
Creative Writing Workshop for Teens (14+)

When: March 31st

The workshop will focus on a writer’s tools:
- what you need to get started
- what makes a good story
- method and madness
- what to do with your finished piece

Participants are to bring a notebook, a pen and one small strange object – it can be anything - a toy, a train-ticket, or a Portuguese tart but be creative – someone will have to write about it!
