Let these words carry you away…

Dream. Drift. Derive. Flâneur. Flotsam. Wander. Disconnect.

What helps you stay afloat?

What rises to the surface when you let all else fall away?

Can you describe a moment in which ‘lost’ is really ‘found’?

In this anthology of dreamy new writings by emerging writers and participants of Words of a Feather & Provocative Inklings workshops and events, you’ll find short stories, flash fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction to move you, lift you, and lead you into new and familiar worlds.

Join us at the elegant Midnight in Paris for an evening of readings to celebrate the launch of FLOAT: an Anthology of New Writings from Melbourne and Beyond.

Published by local literary organisations Words of a Feather & The Provocative Inklings, FLOAT features works by emerging writers from Australia, the US, and Europe.

All contributors have been participants in WOAF and/or Provocative Inklings workshops and events throughout 2024.

All are welcome to join us to celebrate this wonderful new book, our incredible community of writers, and a year of writing and sharing stories!

Bookings are essential. Tickets include a complimentary drink & canapes. We may also have some special guest performances - stay tuned! :)

Copies of FLOAT will be available for purchase at the event.
