Writers Workshops

The Michael King Writers' Centre has two ongoing workshop programmes. 

The major programme is the regular residential workshop designed for mid-career authors. Each symposium-style workshop is based on a specific theme such as writing history, biography or memoir. The focus is on non-fiction.

The residential workshops are held at Vaughan Park in Long Bay and feature high-level speakers. 

The second programme is the young writers programme, for senior secondary school students who are interested in creative writing. 

The centre is also involved in The Poetry Project, which promotes creative writing in schools and community groups. 

We also have a collection of links to resources that may be of use to writers.
