Throughout history, writers have used storytelling to shine a light on issues that would have otherwise remained in the dark. This year, Wollongong Writers Festival has been built around the theme ‘All lit up’, which is to say: things we do not speak about.

Dead Letter Club will be a part of the festivals new series of catered events. This very special DLC invites you to assume your nom de plume and light up something you’ve been keeping in the dark.

This will be a truly decadent afternoon of creativity and fun as you will fed throughout the DLC experience!

A mashup of creative writing, mystery, parlour games and low commitment pen pals.

It is now standard to express ourselves through the immediacy of emojis, GIFs, and lols. Communicating in sentences, phone calls and letters is becoming a thing of the past.

We ask, what might be lost because of this? Dead Letter Club is our answer.

“Dead Letter Club was one of the most genuinely creative, powerful and beautiful experiences I've ever taken part in.” Gemma Jones, Craft Victoria
