Carindale Writers' Group
Carindale Writers Group was founded in 2000. Since then, writers of all genres have crossed our threshold to become ultimately successful writers. Although many have come and gone over the years, some have been with us from the group's inception and some arrived just today.
The group provides an opportunity for peer-based critique, advancement of your writing skills, and social engagement. The writing process is not a lonely one when you have the support and encouragement of a long-established writers' group and when you can share in the knowledge and experience of its members.
Carindale Writers' Group also functions as a link to the broader writing community, with constant updates on writing competitions, seminars and workshops.
Our sixth anthology, Encounters, is available as a digital download which you can now purchase on Amazon.
For further information, or if you would like to attend one of our meetings for the first time, please contact us.
