Writing groups are a great way to improve your writing, meet fellow writers, and get inspired to write. Many published authors credit writing groups with giving them the confidence and skills to pursue a career in writing.
Join A Writing NSW Writing Group
Writing NSW hosts a number of writing groups for different genres, communities, and levels of experience. Self-run by volunteers, these groups generally meet at Writing NSW in Callan Park though some do meet online. Please note that these groups are only open to current members of Writing NSW.
Apply to join a group here. Please note that some groups are not accepting new members at the moment – you can only apply to groups currently seeking new members.
If the group you wish to join is closed you can email us here to join a waitlist. However, we cannot guarantee when any particular group might open. You could consider starting a new group, Writing NSW can provide a high level of support to get you started. See below for more information.
Start a Writing Group
Can’t find that perfect group that meets at the right time, writes the right genre, or has the same interests? Start your own writing group! Setting up and running a writing group is not hard, and Writing NSW will help you administer and promote it. This leaves you free to concentrate on running meetings and writing. We have a range of rooms to use, free tea and coffee, and the option to meet online via Zoom. Check out How to Start a Writing Group for more information and contact us to get started.
