[Announce] Everything Open 2025 Call for Sessions is now open

[Everything Open]

Hello Everyone!

Firstly thank you to all who attended the writing sessions. I really do 
hope that they were helpful for you. I have already noticed that a 
couple of you have already submitted sessions and that's fantastic! 
After 3 successful writing sessions we had some requests to extend the 
call for sessions for just a little while longer whilst they put all the 
skills that they learnt in the sessions into practice.

We have extended by 1 week to next tuesday 1st October. For those who 
would like someone to read through their submission please do feel free 
to reach out to me and I'm happy to help give some pointers. If you 
really want one of those writing sessions run again please also reach 
out at speakers at everythingopen.au and I'll see if we can schedule one 
in.

Looking forward to seeing those last few submissions. This year is going 
to be so difficult to choose from!

Thanks

Sae Ra & Donna
