Bundaberg Writers’ Club meets on the third Saturday of every month, at the U3A Rooms, 80A Woongarra Street, Bundaberg CBD.
A “typical” club day:
• 9.00am Start, Critiques
• 10.00am Discussion
• 10.30am Workshops/speakers
• Noon Lunch (tea & coffee supplied)
• 12.30pm Official business
• 1.00pm Meeting closes
Monthly Assignments (optional)
Every month assignments are set which are then critiqued by club members. Critiquing skills are part of the workshop process, with the aim being to encourage writers to submit works to competitions, agents and publishers; to polish their craft. Club members may not always agree with opinions put forward but we do recognise that good writing only develops with the help of honest and constructive discussion. Assignments are not compulsory, but members are encouraged to enter. They are usually short, sometimes quirky, often aimed at a specific aspect of writing. Most of all we hope they are fun.
Writers’ Workshops
Most workshops complement the set monthly assignment. If an historical story is to be written, then our guest speaker will have insights to share about the genre, and the workshop will centre around how to write historical fiction.
