Workshops & author talks
Colleen has established writers’ groups and delivered writing courses, workshops, mentoring and creative-writing sessions for adults and children — for libraries, schools, community groups and writers’ groups. Everything is arranged by enquiry, from wherever the van happens to be.
What Colleen offers
Writing courses and workshops for adults and children, across different forms and stages of writing.
Talks and readings about the books, van life and writing from the road — from a published, award-nominated poet who is already travelling, and can coddiwomple to your town.
One-to-one support for a piece of writing, a project, or a habit you are trying to build — including help finding a direction when you know you want to write something, but not yet what.
Colleen has established, organised and taken part in writers’ groups, and is glad to talk to anyone starting one.
There is no fixed timetable — Colleen lives and travels Australia full-time in her campervan, Trevor, so where she is next month depends on the road. The earlier you ask, the easier it is to arrange something around the journey.
If your library, school or group is somewhere she is headed, a workshop or talk can often be folded into the trip. Send a note with roughly where and when, and go from there.
