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.
Drop-in Writing Group. Our Monday morning drop-in group is facilitated by SCWC Chair Peter Frankis. There is one hour of writing exercises and one hour of workshopping participants' work. It is not genre specific and meets at our home venue, Coledale Community Hall on Mondays.
Member Silent Write-Ins happen weekly on 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.
