Varuna’s writing programs are national programs and are full of opportunities for writers from the Blue Mountains. The LongLines New Australian Film Stories Workshop brings a new partnership to Varuna, with Blackheath firm Ink-to-Screen. They are looking for new stories for Australian films. There are programs for poetry and drama, and a most exciting workshop named Different Voices, seeking those voices that often get lost in the loudness of the commercial marketplace. This year the LongLines Community Week will focus on writing practice. Up to eight Blue Mountains writers will be offered a place in this week, and will undertake to have a work week, which means working during the day and coming to Varuna for three evenings to have conversations with the five LongLines writers who will also be working at Varuna. The week will take place October 19-25. Information on all programs can be obtained by visiting www.varuna.com.au.
