Hello and welcome to our website.

85 – NOT OUT!

The Society of Women Writers NSW Inc. was established in 1925 and incorporated in1987 and is the longest-standing literary society in Australia. We might be 85 years old, but we have boundless energy, fresh ideas and creativity!

The Society aims to enable women writers in all genres to meet and network, and to benefit from regular seminars and workshops. We like to think that we are writers helping writers as we aim to encourage aspiring writers to achieve professional status. In addition to monthly workshops and luncheon meetings, the Society administers a number of Awards and Competitions, and issues an informative bi-monthly Newsletter Images to its members.

All of our activities are managed and conducted by an annually elected committee, all of whom contribute their time free of charge. My objective as president and host is to make sure that each luncheon meeting is enjoyable, that the food and beverages are well served, and that the speeches are stimulating and memorable, giving the audience a real insight into different aspects of writing fiction, non-fiction and poetry.

The Site Menu to the left of this page will give you information about the Society and our monthly activities.  We meet in the stately Dixson Room in the Mitchell wing of the State Library, Macquarie Street..  The Luncheon Meetings and Workshops section gives up-to-date information on what is on each month and how to book in. The FAQ section has a range of questions and answers that may be helpful and there are other links that you may wish to explore.

Thank you for visiting The Society of Women Writers NSW Inc. We hope you’ll come and visit us again or, even better, please come to one of our lunches and meet us in person.

We welcome visitors and new members and we look forward to meeting you.
