Creative Pros Series in Sydney

On August 7th, Sydney PEN Young Writers Committee member, Bonny Cassidy, spoke about being a young and emerging writer for the City of Sydney's Creative Pros series held at Customs House. This is a series of panel discussions with young professionals in various fields, and last week featured writing. Alongside Bonny were slam poet Miles Merrill and journalist Valerie Khoo. The audience was well-sized and consisted mostly of people thinking about changing vocational directions or developing their beginnings in the writing field. Needless to say, Bonny urged all interested writers to join Sydney PEN for networks, support, fellow young writers and for perspectives on and involvement in the current state of writing locally and worldwide. Thanks to the City of Sydney and the Pine Street Arts Centre in particular for the organisation of this fantastic evening.
