In consultation with the teachers, authors run creative writing courses, which may vary in length from one day to several weeks. By offering students the opportunity to work with published Australian writers, students’ interest and engagement with the written word increases significantly. The Program works this way: The school considers its additional literacy development needs and consults with the ASA office. The ASA then provides the school with a shortlist of suitable authors for the school to choose from. Bookings and fees Fees will vary according to the length of the program a school wishes to run.
