The Drop-In | State Library Victoria

Super excited to announce that the State Library is supporting The Drop-In, my advice program for emerging writers.

We’re running two sessions online (one with guest cohost Arlie Alizzi, editor at Magabala and one of my fave essayists) and two onsite at SLV. Come along to pick our brains and ask all your burning questions about writing, editing, and getting paid and published!

The Drop-In is open to all, with priority for First Nations, trans/nonbinary/genderfluid and international student writers. Places are limited so register asap.
