Support Groups

The Gold Coast Writers' Support Groups, were established in 1995. Our goal was to provide a service to our members specifically to cater to their writing needs. These groups assist in creative style, artistic voice, positive critique, encouragement and more.
Spaces are limited and it is necessary not only to be a member but also to book with the support group
co-ordinator.
