Join Newstead Writers for our third annual Writers Read event on Friday 27 November from 6.00-7.30pm at Newstead Arts Hub.

Writers Read is an invitation to read something you have written, perhaps at a Newstead Writers ‘Shut Up and Write’ monthly  session, or elsewhere in your writing life. Poetry, prose, experimental – any form but you will only have three minutes!

Haven’t read out loud before? This will be a super-supportive environment to take the plunge. Or perhaps you are an old hand at reading your work? This event is for you too! We promise it will be fun.

We’ll provide snacks, wine and other refreshments, with a $10 entry donation at the door to cover food and venue. All writers welcome.

Please let us know you are coming by getting your free ticket at Humanitix. 

Exciting news: we will publish an Anthology: Writers Read 2024-2026  in early 2027 featuring Writers Read contributions!

And don’t forget our last Shut Up and Write session for 2026 is 1-5pm Friday 27 November at Newstead Arts Hub, 8A Tivey Street, Newstead.
