Venue/time details

NEW Writers’ Group Inc Anthology 2010:
Over the summer weeks, why not write a scene, a poem, a memoir, a story on one of our two Anthology 2010 themes?
Themes: NIGHT/DAY TIME/PLACE
Editor: Carol amos
Open for entries 31st January – 31st March
Remember, space in the anthology is limited – we want works that will fit into two A5 zine pages (equivalent to one A4 page) in a normal font size eg Arial 12 with 2cm margins and room for the title and your name. And room for an illustration if you have one…

Who’s eligible to enter? NWG Inc financial members only.
(NB In 2009 we offered entry to non financial members for a $5 admin fee. There were so few gatherers wanting to submit work who were not members, we have decided to make it members only for 2010.)

New Writers Group – venue change for 27th June (Parramatta)

Meetings No Comments »

Dear writers who attend our Parramatta gatherings. For one session only we’ll be meeting NOT at our usual venue (Mars Hill Cafe) but directly across the road in the Brandsmart building downstairs in the food court area – check for a huddle in a corner of poetry-reading story-telling (very cool) people… New-comers welcome as always.
Saturday 27 June 3-5 pm
Brandsmart 330 Church St Parramatta
