Carindale Writers Group was founded in 2000. Writers of all genres participate in our twice-monthly meetings, many have become published authors. We welcome new members not only in general terms, but we provide a friendly, supportive environment to develop and grow one’s skills regardless of experience or standing.
Each of our meetings features writing submitted by two members in advance, for critique. For each meeting, we also write and read a very short piece to a pre-advised theme. Everyone has a chance to be involved, either by preparing a critique for the circulated writings, or by reading aloud their very short piece. Participation in each is voluntary; there’s no requirement for either.
The feature writers benefit from the considered review of their fellow members; valuable advice and suggestions to think about. There is always something to learn from these discussions, across the whole gamut of writing elements – style, plot, voice, story arc, point of view, editing, clarity, dialogue and so much more.
The group supports and encourages peer-based critique, improvement in 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, where you can share in the knowledge and experience of fellow-members.
Carindale Writers Group also functions as a link to the broader writing community, with updates on writing competitions, seminars and workshops.
So far we have completed eight collections of work. In 2022, we published Coffee, Cake & WORDS; in 2020, our 20th birthday year, we published 20/20 Vision Stories; our sixth, Nailbiters – Not for the Nervous was unveiled in June 2019; and Encounters was published in 2016. All are available to buy from Amazon.
