Have you thought about giving writing a go but weren’t sure where to start? Perth Writers Salon is just what you are looking for.

This interactive workshop is the first of its kind for FRINGE WORLD Festival. Led by distinguished author Campbell Jeffries, the six week series will take you through the basics of writing. From generating ideas to character development, each three hour session explores different topics that will have you writing like a pro.

However, Perth Writers Salon is not just for beginners. There is so much to take away from the series even for seasoned writers. Regardless of your writing style, there is something for everyone in this fun and inspiring forum.

What really makes this FRINGE WORLD experience stand out is the opportunity to hone your writing technique in a friendly and supportive environment.

Under the guidance of Cam, the exercises got us thinking outside the box. We discussed our ideas with the class, often with surprising results. By drawing inspiration from the most unlikely places, it challenged us to write creatively and get outside our comfort zones.

Throughout the session, Cam openly shares his 20 years of writing experience. He stresses the importance of practice. Just like any skill, everyone has the ability to be a writer with the right self-discipline. His encouraging words helped settle any self-doubt and gave us the confidence to keep going with our writing goals.

This unique workshop is perfect for budding writers or for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge and try something different.

Perth Writers Salon is an enriching experience that will leave you feeling ready to take on more writing challenges. Come to one session or join them all; this is an engaging FRINGE WORLD event not to be missed.
