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 and December)

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

Our 2025 Theme is 'Views from the Crossroads'

Topics:

March:Friend/Alien

Apr:Old/Young

May:Inspiration/Desperation

Jun:Bitter/Sweet

Jul:Shadow/Reflection

Aug:Now/Then

Sep:Fire/Water

Oct:Truth/Lies

Nov:Own choice

Our 2025 theme was inspired by the location of our monthly meetings - at the crossroads of two major streets in Hurstville: Dora and Queen streets. The theme also works as a metaphor for situations, we may be 'at the crossroads' in our lives, people meet at the crossroads literally and metaphorically. Our year will also explore the world of language, discussing POV, AI, euphemism and many more.

Monthly topics are not mandatory - but simply descriptive inspiration starters.
