Blue Mountains Writers FAW

Directions

Blue Mountains Writers FAW The Blue Mountains Branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers was established in 1973. FAW welcomes and supports writers of all genres on their journey.

The Blue Mountains branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers was founded in 1973. We are part of the New South Wales Fellowship which commenced in 1928. Everyone has a story to tell. On the first Sunday of the month (except September and January) local writers gather in Springwood to discuss writing, share information and support each other in their writing. We sometimes have a visiting speaker who shares their writing experiences with members. The highlight of the meeting is listening to members reading their work. Variety is guaranteed because many styles of writing are brought to the table. The practice of writing can be a lonely experience. Coming together with fellow writers and sharing in their successes is one of the joys of belonging to the Fellowship of Australian Writers. {If you would like to attend a meeting, please message me and I will give you the street number.}
