Join Ruby in beautiful Warrandyte for a free, small group workshop to help jump-start and shape your creative writing, using research and real events.

Ruby Todd discusses her novel Bright Objects – 'an electric tale of small towns, big secrets and the last great comet of the millennium', at Brunswick Library.

The Next Big Thing, a monthly reading series run by The Wheeler Centre, takes place at The Moat bar-restaurant and is a cherished Melbourne institution. It’s the place to be if you want to hear great emerging writers read from new and adventurous work.

Join Ruby Todd for a workshop at Sandringham Library. Ruby will share insights and recommendations for writers seeking publication (whether currently or intending to do so in future), drawing from her own experience as an award-winning published writer and teacher of fiction, essays and poetry.
