Writing Groups: Literary Fiction
Back to all writing groupsHawkesbury Writers/Editors Group
Scripto Libris
We all attended Alan Mill’s year long novel writing course in 2011 and thereby share a common language and serious commitment to writing. Our aim is to write the best that we are able, encourage and support each other, celebrate the achievements and milestones, and enjoy the journey with hearty chuckles along the way.

Seize the Day
We are a friendly group whose members conscientiously and constructively critique each other’s writing. Several members are prize winners. Rowena Harding-smith has won the Sisters In Crime Scarlet Stiletto Award (2018) and Vickie Laveau-Harvie has won the Stella Prize (2019). Ian McArthur has been shortlisted for the Varuna Publisher Introduction Program Fellowship (2019). Our group purpose is to assist all members to achieve their writing goals through constructive criticism and social support.

WriteStuff
WriteStuff is a group for prose writers and poets with a slightly different emphasis. Rather than directly critiquing members’ work in progress, its aim is to encourage creativity in an enjoyable and supportive environment. Through a writing exercise, members are encouraged to create new stories or poems and experiment with style. Discussion and positive feedback from the rest of the group help suggest ways in which we might develop our new work.
Anyone who’s a member of Writing NSW can come to WriteStuff sessions: it doesn’t matter how experienced you are as a writer, only that you are serious about writing and willing to encourage other members of the group. Some writers attend regularly, others come when they can.
