Very exciting to be teaching a novel writing workshop at 107 Projects, Redfern. 107 Projects is an inner city parking garage transformed into a creative candy land by a small group of people dedicated to art, words, performance, community and the sustainable soul… What they have done, are doing, within this space is incredible, honored to be a very small part of it.
