WRITING GROUPS

A proud member of the All Write Club since 2021 – a robust group of 16 graduates of Write Your Novel at Australian Writers' Centre, who exchange work weekly, chat daily and love a good malapropism.

We had our inaugural live catch-up at Sydney Writers Festival in May 2022, with 10 of us meeting from Queensland, Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria and ACT. We were just missing our Perth and Tokyo members.
