Kick start your creativity this school holidays at KSP's Write-A-Rama. This three day event is for young writers 13-17 who would like to spend time with like-minded people interested in writing. The program will feature Fiction writing with Sci Fi writer Lee Battersby and Songwriting with singer/songwriter Aminah Hughes. We'll put together an anthology to publish your work. Our excursion will be to Hillarys boat harbour and AQWA, for writing by the ocean (and some fish and chips and a swim, if you'd like). On the last day we'll have a party and literary reading for those brave enough to entertain us with their words. No musical or creative writing talent necessary. Just bring pen, paper and your imagination and come along!

Application Form (MS Word Format)

The activities will start promptly at 9.30 am at the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre, 11 Old York Rd. Greenmount, and finish at 4.00pm. The Centre will be open from 8.30am to 5.00pm. Parents who wish to assist with the programme on one or more days will be very welcome.

What to bring.

Participants will need to bring writing materials, a packed lunch and snacks or money for lunch on excursion day. Lunch will be provided at workshops taking place at KSP. Writing can really work up an appetite!

Please bring a hat.
