The Writers Group Convention connects individual writers and writing groups with experts in the writing, editing, marketing and publishing fields. We believe in supporting all writers in all genres by creating a chance to get together and learn in a friendly atmosphere.

We had a wonderful line up of speakers in 2023.

Kylie Kaden, Jan-Andrew Henderson, Yvonne Mes and Bryn Smith are successful authors who shared their thoughts about the writing process. We learned more about how to improve our writing craft and release our inner creator, capturing words and phrases that allow readers to enter the worlds we populate. Our fun and inspirational program, which includes expert speakers, door prizes, display tables and a mega morning tea was enjoyed by all.

The 2022 Writers Group Convention was a memorable event, with excellent speakers, who passed on their wisdom to help us on our writing journey. Many authors were on hand to display their books and answer questions. Attendees had time to mingle with other writers and enjoy the informal atmosphere.

We had a wonderful time at the Writers Group Convention on 17th October 2021. The speakers were outstanding and generous in sharing information with us. It was so good to see many of you there, and have conversations in real life!

We missed seeing you all in person in 2020 – but it was great to keep in touch electronically!

The 2019 Writers Group Convention in October was an excellent day. Our speakers passed on valuable information which will help all of us in our quest for great writing. We had a pitch competition which was immensely popular. Thanks to all of our speakers, and authors who displayed their books. As always, thank you too, NightWriters and volunteers who helped make this a friendly and informative day.

We enjoyed every minute of the 2018 Writers Group Convention in April. Great ideas, excellent speakers, writers camaraderie – all wrapped up with food, tea, coffee and inspirational writers. Thank you to our speakers and the NightWriters group for all your help – always appreciated.

The 2017 Writers Group Convention was very enjoyable and enlightening. Thanks to all our wonderful speakers who gave us inspiration, information, hope and help. The marketing table attracted a crowd who were eager to talk to published authors. It was a great day which gave writers a chance to connect with each other. And a big thank you to our volunteers for all your hard work.

The first event in Brisbane in 2014 generated much interest. Over the following years writers have had the opportunity to meet and chat to successful authors, editors and publishers. Writers groups have shared ideas on how be inspired and stay motivated.
