Member-Run Writers Groups
The South Coast Writers Centre offers a range of writing groups where members can develop and work together as part of our writing community. These groups are member-led and are free for members.
Monday Morning Creative Writing Group: Kick-start your week with creative writing. Join other writers for facilitator led writing exercises. We are an inclusive group welcoming & encouraging writers across all forms. Currently our group has members writing fiction (microlit to novels); poetry; memoir; & scripts for TV & the stage. All welcome — from newbies to published writers; from youth to elders. We focus on writing craft; & workshopping participants pieces. Our group is currently full but our waiting list is open.
Member Silent Write-Ins happen weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and are designed to create a focused but communal space to foster creativity and productivity. Drop-in for an hour or two or stay for the whole day at Coledale Hall. Bookings essential.
Writers Walking Group: Come for a stroll along Wollongong’s beautiful blue mile on Tuesday afternoons (except school holidays) and chat with others who, like you, have an interest in writing. This group is not about critique, feedback or exchanging work but about sharing our experiences of the writing process and meeting other writers. Bookings essential.
