Writing NSW is the state’s premier writing organisation, helping thousands of writers each year through professional development, a lively events program, networking opportunities with industry, and quality information and advice.

Writing NSW makes an invaluable contribution to the vibrant writing culture of NSW and has played a key role in the careers of many successful writers. Our commitment to support writers from all backgrounds, in all genres, and at all stages of their careers, has created a lively and supportive community, into which new members are welcomed. One of our key aims is to help writers build sustainable careers in the rapidly changing writing and publishing environment and we do this through our programs, prizes and opportunities, and by providing paid employment opportunities to hundreds of writers each year.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on government funding and the generosity of individual sponsors and donors to do this important work.
