Show, Don't Tell: Writing Workshop with Nicole Hayes

Online Event

Event Description

Calling all aspiring writers and storytellers! Melton City Libraries Short Story Competition is back for 2025.

This annual competition is a great opportunity for budding creatives of all ages to showcase their talents and have their work reviewed by popular authors.

To help you kick off your Short Story entry, we’ve invited award-winning author and podcaster Nicole Hayes to share her words of wisdom.

Nicole is the author of several works including Young Adult novels 'One True Thing' and 'A Shadow’s Breath', the popular 'Little Legends' children's series, and 'From the Outer', an anthology of footy stories from unexpected voices.

In this workshop, Nicole will break down the difference between 'showing' and 'telling' in writing, what this concept looks like, when to apply it, and when not to. Through guided activities, Nicole will teach you how to create dynamic scenes that serve your story.
