2025 PROGRAM
Workshop: Beyond the Postcard: Writing Place with Authority
DATE:
Friday 20 March, 2026
LOCATION:
Manly Youth Centre (The Writers' Room)
COST:
$30.00
Travel writing is about far more than describing where you’ve been. In this workshop, Helen Hayes explores how writers can capture a sense of place with depth, accuracy and ethical awareness. Participants will consider how to move beyond surface description to write about places that feel lived-in and credible.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
The Manly Writers' Festival acknowledges and thanks the original storytellers on the lands on which our events take place, the Gameraygal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge and respect their continuing connection and culture, and we pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present, as well as emerging leaders.
