What you'll do

Join Bad Writers Club and Amanda Falson (actor, screenwriter, and creative writing coach) in collaboration with The Chestnut Tree Bookshop in West Footscray for this four-week immersive writing course.

In this follow-up course to our well-loved Storytelling 101, you'll expand your knowledge of story structure, explore crucial elements of genre, and delve into the intricate craft of world building.

You'll focus on the critical aspects of point of view (POV) and dialogue and learn how to craft scenes that are concise, focused, and brimming with tension, emotion, and conflict.

We'll discuss the significance of self-care in the writing process. Writing can be emotionally and mentally demanding, so we'll provide strategies for maintaining your well-being as a storyteller. Learn how to balance your passion for writing with self-care practices that nurture your creativity and overall happiness.

This fiction writing course will help you improve your craft adding skills to your writer's toolkit and adding depth and connection to your writing.

Course overview:

Week 1: Genre and Worldbuilding
Week 2: Point of View and Dialogue
Week 3: Writing Scenes vs Chapters

WRITING & EDITING WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

Ridiculously fun
Unashamedly lowbrow
Naarm (Footscray)

BWC was born out of a desire to write with freedom and wild abandon … to write and create with no limitations, judgement, or self-imposed barriers.

We all have the right to suck … in fact, we MUST suck on the way to becoming GOOD!

It takes bravery to keep going when it feels like everything that comes out is utter rubbish … but there’s a reason we call it a writing PRACTICE.

Good writing comes with time and repetition, but it can be a really hard and lonely experience, so we created BWC.

A place for all kinds of writers to be together, try things, make mistakes, learn stuff, and have a massive amount of fun in the process.

BWC is more than a writing club. It’s a place to suck in safety, while growing, stretching yourself to be better, and surrounding yourself with folks who get it.
