Writer’s Circle Forms At Proserpine Library

On Monday 9th March, the Proserpine Library hosted its first writer’s circle with the aim of bringing enthusiastic writers and book lovers together to discuss and collaborate on ideas in special creative workshops.

The first session centred around narrative and the construction of plot. Future sessions will delve into character and worldbuilding, researching for stories and refining drafts. The Proserpine Library is hosting three more sessions on each Monday of the consecutive week. To book, you can call 4945 0275.

The sessions are run by Jayde Gardner. With a Bachelor of Multimedia Journalism, Jayde has spent the last decade working in media and communications for local and state government and now brings her wealth of knowledge and expertise to creative writing.

Having recently returned to the Whitsundays after spending twelve years in Townsville – Jayde is looking to encourage more people to write and foster storytelling as an important skill.

The Writer’s Circle is a fantastic opportunity to bring together like minded individuals and allow creativity to flourish. By expressing interest in these types of community initiatives, the region can continue to foster enthusiasm for the creative arts.

Perhaps there’s a story you desperately want to tell, a song you think you can write, or an artwork you know you can create.
