The South Coast Writers Centre is proud to share what the participants of the 'Just Write', have created this school holidays. The program was packed with writing workshops, hands-on creative activities and events targeted at 12-18-year-olds. Our young creatives had the opportunity to work with and be inspired by award-winning authors, talented writers, and other creatives at Ulladulla, Nowra and Sanctuary Point Libraries, Shoalhaven Regional Gallery, and Wollongong Library.

Our 2023 Watkin Street Residency allowed us to provide one writer with the opportunity for a five-day writing residency in a studio in Newtown in March.
