People in Melbourne hibernate during the winter so I’ve decided to give people a reason to get out of the house with my Gunnas Winter Writing Festival.
Four special one off classes to celebrate the very best season for creativity. Winter.
Gunnas Journalism With Michael Lallo (focus on interviewing)
Gunnas Sci Fi With Marianne de Pierre (fantasy and speculative fiction)
Gunnas Stand-Up Comedy With Nelly Thomas (focus on voices from the margins)
Gunnas Fiction With Nova Weetman (focus on Young Adult fiction)
Write Here, Write Now Winter Solstice HYGGE!
MANY people get very down over winter, particularly if you are not fan of footy or skiing. People become sluggish at best, depressed at worst. I have been one of those people.
I have been so grateful to others who have put on amazing dinners, events, catch ups, workshops and things to do over winter. Pubs with fires and brilliant music, yoga retreats, soltice bonfires, Christmases in July, cosy crafternoons, winter lantern festivals, dreamy performances, long boozy lunches, working bees, and weekend get aways with ponchos, guitars, Frisbees and pots of yummy things bubbling on the stove and baking in the oven.
I decided I want to be one of those people who makes something cool for people to do over winter. I want to make the festival I wished was there.
Gunnas Winter Writing Festival officially starts the Sunday before the winter solstice.
My hope is that people will book now and it will make them get out of the house in the depth of winter and feel so glad they did.
We all need something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. Book a winter Gunnas today and drag a mate along.
ALSO coming up, our last for the year…
