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.
