Creative Writing Class: Writers Without a Cause

A creative space held fortnightly for writing all the things...or nothing!



2.5 hours Location Chelsea Class size 1 to 10 guests   $18 - $36 (varies by date)

Discover the joy of writing in a dedicated and supportive creative space at Bayside Makerspace in Melbourne.
This session is perfect for anyone who wants to put their thoughts and ideas onto paper or screen, whether it's for a novel, journalling, comics, social media content, or even just writing letters.
Our focus is on creating a locked-in, consistent space for you to write alone, together. It's not a class to learn how to write, but rather a community of aspiring writers coming together to find inspiration, share ideas, and enjoy the process of writing. Whether you're a beginner or experienced writer, this experience welcomes everyone with open arms.
During this workshop, you'll have access to a wealth of resources like writing prompts and art inspiration tools to kickstart your writing practice. You'll have the freedom to write at your own pace and explore various writing styles and genres.
The experience will be held in a comfortable and inviting environment at Bayside Makerspace, where you can feel inspired and focused on your writing. You may choose to bring your own writing materials or make use of the resources available at the Makerspace. Feel free to BYO drinks and nibbles too.
You'll also have a unique opportunity to connect with fellow writers, share ideas, and receive feedback if desired. The supportive atmosphere will encourage you to explore your creativity and develop your writing skills.
At the end of the class, you'll take home the sense of accomplishment and the momentum to continue your writing journey.

  • 5/5 from Margaret Boyes-Pringle, attended May 2024: In Writers without a Cause, Sez has created a warm space, literally and figuratively! Between 6.30 pm and 9.00 pm, five of us sat and talked and wrote in blocks of 10, 45 and 50 minutes. Writing is a lonely pursuit; this group makes a happy change. I got so much done! Coffee, water, sweeties and chat helped too.
  • 5/5 from Beth Cregan, attended May 2024: It’s a creative inviting space full of writing books and resources. Sez is warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home.

I especially liked the afternoon text prior to the event to give me the heads up on how the evening would run and what I would need. Thank you Sez

She took good care of us, providing us with prompts for writing and quiet time to get our words on the page with the perfect playlist in the background.

Highly recommend - it'll have a regular spot on my calendar!
