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. 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 Gary Owen House in Callan Park though some do meet online.
These groups are only open to current members of Writing NSW. More information on each group can be found in the searchable list below. 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.
Join a Writing NSW Writers 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.
