Story Studios Australia runs an ever expanding array of adult creative writing courses and events in and around Melbourne. From short courses and regular meet-ups, to casual writing nights and creative events, there is something to suit writers of all interests at any stage in their writing journey.

Our creative writing courses and events explore the craft of story with professional writers and industry experts from our beautiful, inspiring Carlton Studio. A perfect opportunity for would-be and experienced writers alike to gain invaluable, in-depth knowledge and practical skills, find the time and place to write, and connect with a supportive, insightful community.

Our regular Write-Nights, Write-Ins and Writers Socials are the perfect place for those new to Story Studios or to their own writing practice to start! These casual events, hosted by Matt Kazakos, are an opportunity to get writing done, talk about your projects, receive guidance, and connect with others.
