Workshops for wordsmiths

Are you aged 7–18, have a passion for writing, interested in developing your creative writing skills, and maybe meeting new people that share your passion?

Run by Moorabool council, Young Writers’ Craft is a creative writing program designed for the region’s young writers.

In this program, young writers will learn how to get inspired by anything; invent new characters, settings and stories; learn useful writing tips, tricks and methods; and find out what makes fiction work.

Young writers will have the opportunity to be mentored by professional writers – and this program will be facilitated by Cheryl Rosario, a member of the Moorabool Writers’ Craft.

Rosario is a local Moorabool resident who lives with her family in Hopetoun Park and is a self-published author of two books and wishes to share her gained knowledge with others.

She has been a member of the Moorabool Writer’s Craft since September 2018 and is currently heading the group and looking to reach out to the youth of the Moorabool Shire.

She also works part-time as a Learning Support Officer at Emmaus Primary School, Sydenham, where she has worked for 17 years.

This program is run in partnership with Moorabool Writers’ Craft.

Each session runs from 4.30–5.30pm at the Ballan Library and Community Hub, 127 Inglis Street, Ballan, with upcoming sessions on Wednesday November 12, 19, and 26.
