Join Stella-listed author Sofie Laguna in Aireys Inlet to workshop your characters on Saturday 24 October.

Stella Day Out is an event series by The Stella Prize, celebrating Australia’s best women and non-binary writers.

Proudly hosted in Aireys Inlet by the Aireys Inlet Community Centre, this workshop is an exciting opportunity to massage your writing alongside an award-winning author.

When: 10am-11:30am, Saturday 24 October 2026

Where: Aireys Inlet Community Centre, 6 Great Ocean Rd, Aireys Inlet VIC 3231, Australia

Sofie will share the way compelling characters can solve every problem fiction presents. You'll learn tools to help you create these characters for yourselves, and to enjoy the process. It's Sofie’s belief that writing can be fun, playful and energising.

Great Escape Books will be selling Sofie's books and others on the day.

Make sure to snag free tickets to the afternoon talks, which include conversations with Sofie and fellow Stella-listed author Micaela Sahhar.

We can't wait to see you for Stella Day Out Aireys Inlet.
