THE Beerwah Writers Group (BWG) is a community of local authors dedicated to supporting each other’s writing journeys.
Our meetings primarily serve as spaces for members to share their work and receive feedback, while also engaging in group writing exercises to hone our skills.
With members from various backgrounds and interests, the BWG is a diverse and welcoming group.
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month in meeting rooms 3 and 3A at the Beerwah Library. Annual membership is just $10, plus a $4 contribution for morning tea per meeting.
We welcome writers of all ages and skill levels, whether you’re an experienced author or just beginning. Last year, we published an anthology of short stories and poems, ‘Histories and Mysteries’, inspired by our local region.
Building on its success, we’re now planning a new anthology focused on the art of writing. Several of our members also published individual works this year, including Addiction Ripples by Janet Paine, Sheltering Wolf and the revised Oradour by Rob Brooke, Ludmila by Marion Kilchester, Shazza’s Blinding Flashes of Inspiration by Sharon Millow, and Growing Up Patty by Patty Beecham.
Additional titles by BWG members include Tall Tales True, by Neil Halpin, and In the Bath and Up the Garden Path, by Lisa Plucknett.
While short stories and novels are central to the BWG, many members are also active poets. Notably, Ron Wiseman and Denzil Nash recently had their poetry published in the international anthology Prism.
William Robertson recently contributed to the sci-fi anthology Invasion of the Saucer Men from Mars. For more details see our Facebook page or call 0415 258 162.
