National Young Writers Month: Ready to Launch! [23.05.2011]
National Young Writers’ Month is running from June 1-30, 2011. It is a month where you can set yourself a writing goal, and with the support of the National Young Writers’ Month community, reach that goal.
To kick off the month, National Young Writers’ Month will launch Saturday May 28 at 1.45pm-2.45pm at the Melbourne Town Hall as part of the Emerging Writers’ Festival.
Express Media Program Manager Lefa Singleton Norton will lead a panel discussion on ‘why we write’, with a guest panel of freelance journo Benjamin Law; author and former Express Media Artistic Director Bel Schenk; Emerging Writers’ Festival Director and author Lisa Dempster; and Voiceworks Editor Johannes Jakob.
The NYWM launch will also set the scene for the launch of Express Media’s very first eBook, with a new digital life for the 2009 release The Words We Found, a collection of the best pieces of writing published in literary journal Voiceworks over the past 21 years.
Courtesy of our friends at Kobo, we have a Kobo eReader to give away to Voiceworks subscribers, complete with 100 free classic eBooks and The Words We Found. Details for the competition will be announced at the launch event.
WHEN: 28th May, 1:45pm-2:45pm Melbourne time. WHERE: Melbourne Town Hall and online nationally. COST: Free, with a free afternoon tea to follow! Places are limited, so please book at www.expressmedia.org.au/nywm
