workshops for beginner and emerging writers in western Victoria
Two Feathers Press in conjunction with Noorat Writers Group with the support of Warrnambool Storytelling Festival, is delighted to offer a series of five workshops over the months of March – July 2026, looking at foundational skills for the story you want to tell.
Suitable for beginning and emerging writers in any fiction genre, as well as narrative non-fiction.
Workshops will run for 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon, and will include a blend of theory and examples, workshopping and practice, and discussion. Plus afternoon tea and resource lists for further study.
Each session will be stand-alone; you may come to one, some, or all of them depending on what suits you and your project (although sessions 2, 3 and 4 will inevitably be linked in some ways, and a Bundle Ticket covers entry to all three at a discount).
- March : Writing the past A grounding in writing fiction set more than 10 years ago, as well as narrative non-fiction (including memoir, local history as story, narrative biography, etc)
- April: Basics 1 – Voice, character and point of view Bringing life to the people you’re writing about
- May: Basics 2 – Structure and Plot The how, what, when and why of your storytelling.
- June: Basics 3 – It’s finished! …I think Preparing your work for publication and beyond…
- July: World Building Foundation of writing fantasy, sci-fi, alt-history and dystopian fiction; but can also benefit anyone writing ancient history as narrative.
