Who we are

Discovery Writers enjoy the written word, sharing insights, humour and drama through stories, memoirs and poems.

What we do

We meet on the last Tuesday of each month (not January) to read and discuss our current works. Each year we choose a writing theme and upskill our knowledge through workshops. Discovery Writers welcomes all who enjoy writing to come and share in our friendship afternoons.

Meetings - Where and When

Miles Franklin room, Hurstville Library, Dora St, Hurstville

1.00 - 3.00pm, last Tuesday of the month (except January)

But wait ... there's more ...

'WORD PLAY: For the Love of Words' is a response to valuing the various genres that engage our members. Our year will explore the world of words: anaphora, alliteration, litotes. These are but a few of the places to research on our journey.

Monthly topics are not mandatory but they can give a starting point or an ending to a story.
