Writing Groups: Non-fiction
Back to all writing groupsBlue Mountains Writers
We are an established group of writers writing across diverse fiction genres and sharing the beautiful Blue Mountains. We meet monthly to provide critical and constructive feedback on each other’s work. Working in different genres gives us the ability to give feedback from different viewpoints. Members are at various stages in their writing.
Hawkesbury Writers/Editors Group
Ink Black
A group formed from the 2025 Writing Group Information Day. We support each other in developing and pursuing ideas for non-fiction writing. We have members at various levels of their writing practice and love the chance to continue to learn from each other.
Neenish Tarts
A long standing group providing feedback and support for our writing. We love the creative process and try to keep that energy in our writing.
No Boundaries
Whatever genre we write in, we can learn from stepping outside our safe zone. If you think that a fantasy writer can learn from a historical fiction author, or a long form journalist has something to offer a romance novelist, this might be your group. No Boundaries is open to writers of fiction and creative nonfiction who are looking for an environment where constructive criticism is exchanged with good heart, occasional humour and a willingness to be surprised.
While some writing experience is preferred, highly motivated beginners may be accepted. It is assumed that members are aiming for publication in some form, whether that be traditional book publishing, blogging, magazine articles, self-publishing, Substack, Medium, or any of the myriad ways we get our work to the outside world.
Open Genre
Over the Moon Writers
Critique group for creative non-fiction writers writing for publication. Word count sent in advance of meeting and hard copies provided for constructive critique. Small group size to permit all members to submit each month and participate in both writing and critique. Our group purpose is to support improvement in members’ writing and provide sounding boards for writing ideas and questions. We seek to provide in-person meet-ups for support, camaraderie, and commiseration with other writers serious about craft and publication. And laugh.
Scripto Libris
Scripto Libris is a spin off writers’ group from Alan Mill’s year-long novel writing course. We are highly motivated and goal focused to produce the best quality writing we can and to enjoy the journey.
Storyism
A friendly group of men and women of different ages and life experiences and a group involved in a variety of writing forms. We hope to provide a forum which stimulates an exchange of ideas to extend the experience, knowledge and enjoyment of the creative writing process. Our purpose is to provide an environment in which fellow writers may present their work for critiquing within both a supportive and helpful environment. Our aim is to motivate and inspire each of us to improve our own writing practice.
