ACT Writers Centre

The ACT Writers Centre is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting writing-based culture and supporting the rights and interests of writers within Canberra and the surrounding region.  The Centre has seen an enormous growth since its incorporation in 1994 and now boasts a membership of over 1000 writers covering all genres and skill levels, and aged from 10 through to 90.

The Centre also acts an information and liaison centre for writers, publishers, writing organisations and educational institutions. Members have access to our resource library, as well as the use of the meeting room, work space and equipment. We provide advice on many areas of writing and publishing, including markets for writers and competition details.

The ACT Writers Centre runs a wide variety of writing workshops and seminars throughout the year. We also provide the opportunity to meet with other members with similar interests on an informal basis through various writing groups and at social occasions.
