Writeability Goes Local: Port Phillip Writers Group

Writeability Goes Local: Port Phillip Writers Group

The Writers Group is a series of free skills development workshops open to writers with all levels of experience. This is a facilitated writing group led by experienced writing mentor, Jenny Hedley. Sessions will include a tutorial with a guest writer with disability and will make use of films and other resources from Writers Victoria’s Writeability Archive. The writing group will be held monthly from April through to November 2024. The Writeability Goes Local: Port Phillip Writers Group is scheduled to run for eight sessions over the coming months. Writers with disability at all levels of experience are invited to attend. 

Writeability Goes Local: Port Phillip is a collaboration between Writers Victoria and City of Port Phillip. This project has been supported by the City of Port Phillip through the Cultural Development Fund, and Writers Victoria.

This eight-month creative writing program aims to reduce the disadvantages that disabled writers can face due to social isolation, the expense of professional development and the assumption that people with disability need other people to tell their stories.
