Join me for a Summer Writing Salon at the beach ...
Sunday 19 February 2023
10.30am - 3pm
$45
Venue: The Writing Place
21 McKenzie Ave, Arkles Bay
Whangaparaoa, Auckland
No - I'm not talking about a hair salon but rather (as defined by Merriam-Webster) 'A fashionable assemblage of notables (such as literary figures, artists, or statesmen) held by custom at the home of a prominent person.'
I may not be a 'prominent person' but this salon will most certainly be a fabulous 'assemblage of notables' - you!
Join me and a small group of writers for a day of writing at The Writing Place. We'll begin with coffee/tea and some warm-up exercises and discussion, then retire to our own desks to create, write and flex our imagination.
We'll meet up again for a leisurely lunch (please bring your lunch - tea and coffee provided) and then get back into our writing with an end-of-day time for readings and sharing our work (however there is never any pressure to read to the group unless you'd like to).
