Members of the Us Mob Writing Group with Bruce Pascoe
A message from Bruce.
An amazingly diverse group of First Nations writers assembled for a writing workshop at AIATSIS, Canberra for three days in June.
The writers had a diversity of experience which was matched by their interests which ranged across: the musical history of Aboriginal protest songs, poetry, children’s fiction, speculative fiction, women’s studies, autobiography, drama and history.
Participants took part in workshopped writing, editing and book length plots and characterisation.
The writing standard of those involved was of a very high standard and I hope that all women will launch into their major projects as outlined at the workshop. The time has to come when the planning stops and the production begins.
