Calling all storytellers who love the written form – the Fellowship Australian Writers Wyong Branch would like to hear from you.
Members of Wyong Writers are of all ages and come from all over the Central Coast to enjoy the friendly group whose members write poems, short stories, novels or even their own life stories.
Publicity Officer Liz Shaw says it’s a great way to learn to improve your writing, meet other interesting people, share your writing with others and learn more about getting published.
“You’ll pick up practical writing tips and have fun along the way,” she said.
Wyong Writers will hold a playwriting and scriptwriting workshop on Saturday, April 22, using examples of finished plays and scripts and talking about essential differences and so on.
On Saturday, May 27, there will be a critiquing workshop to discuss what is looked at/for when critiquing, what writers want from a critique and different methods used by different groups.
Wyong Writers also hold competitions to encourage writing and they publish anthologies of members’ work.
Past publications have included Holidays in 2018, Community and Belonging in 2019.
COVID prevented publications in 2020 and 2021 but last year in 2022 the Wyong Writers were back in fine form and produced For Better For Worse.
This collection of short stories was inspired by a Point of View exercise and contains many stories of one particular wedding from the point of view of different characters.
Officially known as Fellowship Australian Writers NSW Central Coast Wyong, the Wyong Writers welcome new members to their supportive and friendly group which meets on the fourth Saturday of every month, starting at 1.30pm in the Woodbury Park Community Centre, 1 Woolmers Cres (off Woodbury Park Dr) at Mardi.
