What is the Fellowship of Australian Writers?
Founded in 1928, the FAW NSW has branches across Sydney and regional New South Wales where writers can get together with others who love writing.
The FAW NSW remains Australia’s oldest established writing organisation with some of Australia's most acclaimed writers among its ranks—including Miles Franklin, Dorothea Mackellar and Marjorie Barnard. One of the most important achievements of the Fellowship was the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors (ASA) in 1963.

And the Sutherland branch?
Our aim is to provide a supportive and encouraging environment where local writers can come together to share what they are writing and learn more about their craft.
We have a diverse membership that encompasses both fiction and non-fiction writers whose interests range from journalism to poetry, memoir to children's writing.
It doesn't matter how far you have come along the writing journey, whether you are a novice or a professional. You may be aiming for professional publication or interested in self publishing and writing competitions. Or maybe you want to write your life story to pass down to your family.
Anyone who is interested in writing and wants to share their passion is welcome.
