About

The stories we hold back are often the ones that matter the most. But what happens when the censor lives inside our own heads?

Hosted by Leah Avene, this workshop invites you to identify and interrogate the voices – both internal and external – that shape what gets written down, and what stays silent. Through guided exercises and group discussion, develop strategies for writing with greater freedom despite today’s constrained conditions. Suitable for all genres and experience levels.

Presented in partnership with Emerging Writers' Festival and City of Melbourne.
