What we’re about

Although our meetings are held fortnightly in Victoria Park, we welcome members from all suburbs across the Perth metropolitan area. Some travel many kilometers, from both North and South of the river, just to take part in the fun and adventure of writing. Our members are interested in a wide variety of writing styles - we have poets, novelists, satirists, travel writers and bloggers; amateurs as well as published writers. The group meets in a friendly and sociable situation for mutual support and motivation as well as for informal learning and occasional special events. If you want some genuine feedback, inspiration or to be involved in interesting discussion about writing and literature, come along and join us.

Thu, Oct 16 · 6:45 PM AWST
The theme of our next meeting is 'Now I'm terrified'
Meeting Place, 1 Temple Street, Victoria Park, AU
Please note that we have moved from the Victoria Park Center for the Arts to 1 Temple Street, Victoria Park.

We meet at 6.30 pm for a 6.45 pm start. We will, as usual, read our stories on the theme of the meeting (no more than 1000 words) and follow each reading with constructive and friendly criticism. Those who do not have a story are still welcome to the meeting, and those who have a story, but not on the theme of the week, can read theirs after the themed works. The last person to have read his or her story at the previous meeting will be the first to read it at the next meeting! We will also try to accommodate those who have to leave early.
At the 25 October 2018 meeting, we decided that due to the increased size of the group, and the growing number of stories presented at each meeting, it was necessary to restrict the time available to discuss each story. As we are now required to pay Public Liability Insurance, we have recently been forced to change the attendance fee to a blanket $7.00 per meeting. Attendance fee is paid on the night directly to our Treasurer/Secretary.
