You are now entering the Writers Circle…

Why are we here?

This blog has been established to provide encouragement and support for young people considering writing an entry for the David Evans Awards for Fiction, run by the Boonah Arts Collective.

What is it all about?

The people behind this blog are experienced educators and writers.  We are keen to help young locals with an interest in literary arts (storytelling, novels, poetry, songwriting, scriptwriting, travel tales, memoirs, illustrated stories…and much more!) to develop their skills.

We are also here to support young people interested in entering the David Evans Awards for Fiction held (part of the annual Boonah SPAR Arts Festival).

How does the blog work?

We will update the blog at least once a week with ideas, inspiration and activities to improve your writing skills, information on how to tackle the competition theme, as well as tips on editing and fine tuning your work.  We will even provide advice and guidance on your own writing!

The blog will also give you the chance to interact with other aspiring writers and poets, as well as published authors, professional writers and educators, and previous David Evans Awards for Fiction winners and entrants.

How do I get involved?

• reading the information and advice that appears in the blog each week
• working through the writing activities at the end of each blog
• commenting on the blog or on comments left by others after the blog
• submitting examples of your writing for others to provide encouragement and advice

• writing, writing, writing…
