Ballarat Writers Inc is proud to announce that this year we have secured Lee Kofman as judge for the Southern Cross Short Story Competition. Lee will also be presenting a 4-hour workshop on “Writing Compelling Characters and Dialogue”.

This workshop will be held from 1pm – 5pm on Sunday 7th July 2019 in The Printers Room in the basement of Sebastiaans 58–60 Lydiard St N, on the corner of Mair Street, with entry from Mair Street.

The costs are $25.00 for BWI members and $30.00 for non-members, and the event is open to all members of the public. You can join Ballarat Writers by following the prompts at https://ballaratwriters.com/membership/

We have to limit the number of attendees to just 30, so you’ll need to be quick to book to ensure your place with Lee.
