March is shaping up to be one busy, busy month. I thought I’d write it all down just to wrap my head around it a little – and of course to share with you too.
International Women’s Day
On Friday March 8th, I will be speaking at Camberwell for the City of Boorondara. The talk is subtitled ‘Celebrating women in Australian literature and the media’ and I will be there to talk about my thoughts about, and contributions to, the blogging/digital sector. Fellow speakers are Leslie Cannold, Alice Pung and Michelle Dabrowski. It’s a free, family-friendly event.
More information here. Do come along!
Digital Parents Conference
I am hosting ‘The Mother Tongue‘ session at the Digital Parents Conference on the 20-21st March. If you are already coming along to the conference and would like to read aloud one of your posts, don’t forget to fill in this form to express your interest. Submissions are about to close, so be quick!
Teaching ‘Blogging for Beginners’ Workshop for the Australian Writers’ Centre
I’m really excited to be teaching the above workshop on the 24th March. The AWC have recently expanded down here from Sydney, and I always love getting in front of fresh, keen people wanting to learn more about it. If you’d like to do the same, some course information is here.
Judging a competition
I will be judging the creative writing component of Artz Blitz 2013 – 24 hour Art Competition. What is Artz Blitz?
Artz Blitz is Kingston Arts’ annual adrenaline-charged art competition and is one of Melbourne’s most exciting creative events for artists and aspiring artists. The competition starts with the announcement of a secret theme from which artists have 24-hours to create an artwork and submit it to the Kingston Arts Centre. Artists work in a fun and frantic way to complete their artwork on time.
All this on top of what I’m planning to be a jam-packed blogging month here on Miscmum. And my two Piscean males celebrate their birthdays in March, don’t forget.
