    Event description

    This workshop is a chance for young writers to explore and practice sharing their stories with other writers. This is the time and space for them to dedicate to developing their characters and fleshing out plots.

    Attendees will need to bring along:

    • A laptop or preferred writing device
    • A story idea; an idea you're excited to talk about!

    Kirste is a writer from regional South Australia. She graduated with a Bachelor of Creative Writing in 2016 and since has developed projects like Letters to Blue (2020), co-facilitated the workshops Mono Club (2020) and I Feel Like Writing (2020-21) to support young writers and artists. She lives for all things magical and if fairy wings don’t sprout from her back, or if fire doesn’t spark from her palms, one day, she’ll head down the path of a villain.

    *This is one of the pieces that make up the Symposium mini-festival puzzle.*

    Symposium is a community-based and locally driven initiative to nurture a culture of skills and knowledge-sharing for local young people. The festival strives to build a foundation of small business skills, creative skills and life skills through means of live workshops. For more information and background on Symposium and where it began.
