When the first Capricorn Coast Writers Festival launched in 2019, they had no idea how well-timed their biennial schedule would be.

With many 2020 festivals a write off, CCWF director Nene Davies and her expanded committee of 11 have dodged the rona disruptions and are on track for their next outing in 2021.

Wanted: Volunteer Coordinator

Are you a passionate people person who is cool, calm, collected and ready to help deliver an amazing event? The CCWF are looking for a Capricorn Coast community member for the important job of recruiting, coordinating, supporting and allocating volunteers for the 2021 festival.

If this sounds like you, shoot them an email with “Volunteer Coordinator” in the subject line, your mobile number, and a brief outline of your experience and why you’re the right person for the job.

Writers’ workshops are back!

We may have to wait til 2021 for the festival itself, but the team are also offering workshops in just a few weeks.

Join local multi-award-winning author Amy Andrews as she takes you through her workshop, Romance Writing Elements 101 - put a girl in it.

Giving your characters a romantic love interest adds another dimension to their personality and another layer to your writing. It also gives your readers a chance to see your characters personalities in a different light - good or bad.

Amy will take you through how to introduce romantic elements onto the page and into your stories at her workshop on Saturday 29 August 2020 from 9am - 1pm. Keep an eye on the Capricorn Coast Writers Festival on Facebook for more details.
