What we’re about
A new name, a new direction, a reinvigoration for writers of Poetry, Prose, Lyrics & Songs ...
Come along to our regular meetups where like-minded Melbourne writers get to share their work in a creative, safe space.
It doesn't matter if you're a writer of poetry or prose, lyrics or music, fiction or non-fiction, there's a meetup for you! So come and read (if you're brave enough) or listen and support others.
You don't need to be published, you just need to be passionate about your craft. All are welcome, you just need to pre-register your attendance (check event listings for how to register).
Plus there'll be opportunities to submit your work for publication in upcoming compilations (and share in the profits!) Naturally, you retain all your own copyright.
So come join us ... because fortune favours the brave!
