About Us

We were founded in 1986

We are a branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers.

We precede our monthly meeting with an informal lunch and chat.

Hold our meeting in accordance with FAW standards.

Follow our meeting with readings of member’s stories or poems, which follow a preset choice of two monthly themes.

We host and judge a biennial National Competition in adult, novice and children’s sections of prose and poetry. Prizes include trophies, cash and certificates and, when funds permit, an anthology of winning entries.

Publish anthologies of members’ writings.

We encourage members own book launches and promotion.

Hold writing workshops.

Publicise member’s achievements and activities in Writers Voice magazine.

Mudgee Valley Writers FAW birthday and Christmas are both celebrated with a special lunch.

We encourage members to think of and try fun and creative writing ideas at the meetings.

Promote our group and creative writing with available outlets promoting the Arts.

Host a fortnightly column, ‘The Ink Spot’, in The Mudgee Guardian newspaper.

Always welcome new members, whether experienced writers or not.
