Local Word Writers Festival is an annual two-day event of local writers presenting workshops, presentations and author in-conversations for writers and readers.
Online only
Joining us from Manchester in the United Kingdom, Geelong Regional Library Corporation’s Virtual Writer in Residence, Mr Louis Glazzard, will present this workshop exploring personal identity and experience in our writing.
‘Write about what you know’ is an old writer’s trope, but is it necessarily the best way to go?
Drawing on themes explored in Louis’ poetry around LGBTQ+ Identity and being a Working Class Writer, this workshop will explore how we can use our own experiences in a transformative way to fire up our imagination and reach our full potential as writers.
Louis Glazzard was born and raised working class in Yorkshire, England. Louis' writing has been published by Untitled: Voices, Polari Press, Queerlings and more. In 2021, Louis was the recipient of an Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant which saw him running poetry workshops with various organisations including the NHS and the LGBT Foundation.
* Up to 15 participants | * Suitable for beginner to intermediate writers aged 16+
