Event Concluded

Event Description

The Melton City Libraries Short Story Competition is a great opportunity for creatives of all kinds to showcase their talents and have their work reviewed by popular authors. And it's not just for writers!

Come along to our Oral Storytelling workshop facilitated by Damian Robb - writer, podcaster and story educator working across page and screen, whose work has appeared in a range of books, anthologies and magazines. During this workshop Damian will show you how to structure an oral story narrative - a story isn't just "what happened", it's an emotional experience. You'll have the opportunity to record your story using our AV recording studio in the weeks after the event. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain new skills, learn practical skills and meet follow creatives.
