Writing workshops

The Central Coast Fellowship of Australian Writers group will present Write-for-Fun, two free writing workshops for girls and boys with writer Kathryn Anderson, at Woy Woy Library on July 8.

The first workshop will run from 10am to noon for students in Years 3 to 6 and the second from 1pm to 3pm for students in Years 7 to 9.

The two workshops are for young people who enjoy writing stories and poetry and will be held in the Spike Milligan Room of Woy Woy Library.

"All writing materials will be supplied.

"The students just have to bring their ideas and be ready to have fun," said Joan-Marion Bean.

She said Kathryn Anderson was an experienced writer, manuscript assessor and educator.

Her works have been published across a range of media and have been performed at more than 50 venues, including the Sydney Opera House, where she was guest poet for the Sydney Writers' Festival.

There will only be 30 places in each workshop.

Students should contact Bridget Sharp on 4367 2253 to reserve a place.

Bookings close on July 5.
