About

The Gold Coast Writers Association (GCWA) encourages and supports writers from all genres, age groups and levels of writing to grow, learn and excel in their craft.

Monthly meetings offer the opportunity to connect with like-minded people in a relaxed environment. Guest speakers are sourced from all aspects of writing, with members able to share their written work and conduct book launches. Visitors are invited to attend meetings (entry fee for non members $7).

Membership offers the additional advantages of the informative monthly eWriteabout newsletter, writers’ support groups, discounts, competitions, workshops and many other benefits.

Workshops and events are held regularly throughout the year and members share their ideas at informal support group sessions covering most genres.

Each year the association runs a national writing competition attracting entries from writers of all ages throughout Australia.

We hope you enjoy exploring this website and the information and resources it has to offer and invite you to contact us if you have any queries.
