Storyboard
Children’s Program Fund
Masterclasses
StoryBoard Masterclasses are ongoing, regular sessions in which young writers work on developing and honing their writing skills throughout the term.
The free Masterclasses run in the evenings at Byron Bay, Lismore and Ballina. During the 90 minute workshops participants explore a diversity of writing forms and genres. They free-write, plan, execute, edit and revise their work, often with the aim of bringing a singular idea from concept to completion. In some cases, the final pieces are published as an Anthology.
