Welcome to our community! 

We are your go-to organisation for writing opportunities in the South Coast region, including festivals, events, courses, workshops and writing groups.  

If you are looking to refine your writing skills, explore new professional avenues, or connect with like-minded readers and writers, South Coast Writers Centre is your ultimate hub.

We believe that everyone has a unique voice and story to share, and we are committed to empowering you to express your ideas with confidence and creativity alongside fellow writers.

Support our community writing fundraiser.

In its 25th year, with over 400 members and a wide supporter base, the South Coast Writers Centre is the only writers’ centre serving the Illawarra, South Coast and Southern Highlands of NSW.

While we are extremely grateful for the support from our partners and members, our current funding falls short of our ability to serve our writing community. We need your help.

From now until May 2024, Creative Australia, through the Plus1 program, will match your donation dollar for dollar!
