What we’re about
Cape Town Writers' Network is a group of writers that meets at least twice a week to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).
The idea is for writers of any age and any background to get together in a quiet, public space to:
Take part in focused writing sessions with no distractions;
Give and receive constructive criticism of works-in-progress;
Review and discuss published fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays;
Look to each other for education and inspiration.
We are a flexible group, allowing you to come along according to your schedule.
Our weekly Monday evening meet-up at takes the form of a Writing Workshop. It is usually led by one member of the group (decided in previous sessions) and can include writing exercises, a theme, readings and discussions.
Ad hoc meet-ups include pure write-ins for individual work on ongoing projects. Keep an eye on the board for these.
We will also post information about book launches, professional workshops and other literary events taking place in and around Cape Town.
Whether you've been furiously typing away for years or your long-harboured ambitions are just surfacing, joining a writing circle could help give your discipline and writing a boost.

Axone is a creative platform built for writers and poets who want to share their work, collaborate and grow. We believe that storytelling is not just an art form but a way of building community. Our mission is to create a space where every voice matters, and where writing becomes something bigger than the page.
On Axone you can:
- Write and publish your own stories and poems
- Collaborate with others to create new works together
- Explore different perspectives through shared creativity
- Take part in projects and campaigns that showcase talent
Why do we exist?
Because too many writers work in isolation. Axone is here to change that. We are building a community where creativity thrives, where ideas are
celebrated and where writers and poets can find encouragement, feedback and inspiration.Be part of this growing community
And if you would like to connect more closely with other writers, share ideas and support one another in real time, join our WhatsApp Writers’ Group!
Your words have power. Let’s write, share and grow together.
