Bendigo Writers' Council is run by a small volunteer committee endeavouring to bring together all those that share an interest in the writing industry, whether they desire to be a professional writer or simply write for their own enjoyment.
The committee do this by organising a wide variety of industry experts to hold workshops once per month. The speaker will delve deep into their specialised topic, be available to answer questions and set out a small task for all those attending.

Back for 2021 by popular demand, Scott is a Bendigo freelance editor whose projects span the globe; from educational textbooks to biographies, self-help books and roleplaying games, amongst many other texts.
Previously Scott has worked in science research and education support, and both have led to related editing projects. He has worked as an associate editor for Aurealis magazine for seven years, and was previously lead editor for 21D magazine. Of particular interest to Scott are stories, games and education, and the ways they can be connected together. When not editing, Scott can also be found dabbling in gardening, cooking, creative writing or writing, designing and playing games. |

Michelle loved the feel, the smell and the world of books from an early age. With a varied background in writing for media, she is currently deputy editor and feature writer for an online music publication.
Studying Media and Literature at Swinburne and La Trobe University, Michelle went on to freelance or volunteer her time in any medium that required a good yarn: arts and music publicity, scriptwriting, interviews for radio and community television, and feature-writing. Michelle is a strong advocate for women writers in music and the arts. Being a nomad at heart, she also forays into travel writing sometimes. |

Between work and family commitments, Steve likes to deceive himself that he has time to write. After keeping "the cyber" secure during the day, sometimes malevolent stars align and dark thoughts percolate; steeping sinuously onto a virtual page.
Beyond considering CBT to ensure the placement of only one space after a full stop instead of two, Steve explores fiction-writing fundamentals and practical writing wisdom. His more coherent musings, interspersed with existential objections to decaffeinated coffee, can be found within the Twitterverse @WriteItSteve. |
