This celebration marks the launch of the 2020 January-June Course Program and is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the end of the year with our wonderful network of members, staff and some of our very talented tutors.

The 2020 Kids & YA Festival will take place on Saturday 27 June! Directed by best-selling, internationally published children’s author Belinda Murrell, this year’s Festival showcases some of Australia’s best-known and dearly loved authors, illustrators, publishers, media personnel and industry professionals.

Summer’s here and so are the final days of the year. It’s not too late to strike off those new year resolutions — starting with the ones on your calendar.

Complete our Annual Survey to go in the running for one of our two-day courses, a book pack and more!

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2019 Writing NSW Grants!

‘Just write. Even if no one ends up reading it, every piece of writing you produce goes towards honing your craft!’

‘[Collaborative writing] can work wonderfully. Having someone you trust give an opinion about your latest idea helps a lot.’

‘Try to get words down if you can – every little bit adds up. But don’t be hard on yourself if some days it doesn’t happen. I’ve had plenty of days that have been wiped off and I’m still trying to tell myself that ‘it’s okay’.’
