Silent Writing Party

Join Erin Hortle and Keely Jobe for a relaxed afternoon of quiet creativity at Cascades Bay Wines.

We’ll begin with a 15-minute welcome chat over tea or coffee, followed by 90 minutes of dedicated silent writing time. Afterwards, there’ll be a short post-writing conversation, with the option to stay on for more informal chats.

Your ticket includes complimentary refreshments.
