About the Writeability Goes Local: Port Phillip Writers Group
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.
