Writers write.
The Fellowship of Australian Writers is here to help, support and encourage you in your writing.
Our group is made up of new and experienced writers - you're one of those aren't you?
Then come along and join us at our meetings.
Who are we?
The Sutherland branch of the FAW is a place to meet locals who share your passion for writing.
We meet once a month to share our writing skills and knowledge and to celebrate our achievements.
We hope to see you at our next meeting.
(Next meeting 29 February - Open Mic session.)

What we do...
The Sutherland FAW is involved in many community initiatives to support and champion local new and emerging writers.
Our main focus is the Writers Unleashed: The Sutherland Shire Writers Festival, now in its 11th year.
The festival attracts high profile Australian presenters and is run entirely through the voluntary efforts of our members.
In conjunction with the Festival, we co-ordinate a Picture Book Writing Competition, offering $800 in prizes, along with a chance to win a mentorship with Clare Hallifax, from Scholastic Australia.
And we are proud partners of the Spark Creative Writing Competition, which provides an opportunity for high school children of the Shire to develop and showcase their skills.
We also pop up at local market days, festivals and seniors expos, etc.
