Story and Self: awaking the writer within

In this course professional writers and educators Joel McKerrow (author and one of Australia’s leading performance poets) and Dan Nixon (writer, producer, educator, and director of Melbourne Young Writers’ Studio) will help navigate a journey into the depths of storytelling and character, and aid in untangling and discovering stories already dwelling within as you learn to mine yourself and the world for inspiration.

This course is applicable to all forms of creative writing and will be equally beneficial to those new to writing and looking for somewhere to start or those in need of a refocus and fresh inspiration. We suggest everyone do this course first because it not only creates a great introduction or reminder on the tenets of storytelling, covering the fundamentals of character, worldbuilding and story structure but also goes much further to helping writers build a philosophy and framework around their storytelling and writing practice.
