The members of the Northern Beaches Writers’ Group write in every genre. Some of us write crime, romance or speculative fiction, some write children’s, young-adult or teen fiction, while others write biographies, histories, non-fiction books or manuals. It’s a real range and we find that this variety only helps us as writers, because everyone has such different experiences and perspectives to offer in their critiques.

Don't you want your writing to appeal to a wide range of readers?

In the same way, while most of us do have formal training in creative writing, others write from their gut having read passionately for many years. This range means our knowledge pool is immense.

If you’re interested in becoming a member, if you're committed to improving your writing, and if publication or republication is your goal, contact us so that our leader Zena Shapter can answer any specific questions, as well as let you know the date of our next meeting.
