Write to Live—freelance journalism workshop with LESLEY SLY
The New England Writers' Centre will be sponsoring this workshop at Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival, Australia's newest literary festival which runs until April 10.
Located on the spectacular Waterfall Way between the ocean beaches of the NSW mid-north coast and the ancient Gondwana rainforest, the Bellingen area has been the inspiration for many Australian writers including Peter Carey and Robert Gray.
The festival is a celebration of Australian writing in all its forms and will feature many established and emerging Australian writers. Three days of events including readings, panels, forums and feasts, workshops, multimedia, theatre and spoken word performances will take place amidst the magnificent natural environs of the Bellinger River, Coffs Coast and Dorrigo National Park.
Earlybird Festival tickets are now on sale at a discounted rate of $95 for a single adult weekend pass.
