Before the prizes, before the publications, before the panels there was a workshop, a conversation, a community. There was an organisation supporting writers.
For 36 years, Writers Victoria has supported, connected and advocated for writers across the state and beyond—from emerging voices to established literary leaders. This organisation has been a launchpad, a lifeline, a place for writers to grow.
Writers Victoria needs your help to keep going.
Arts funding at both state and federal levels has stagnated or declined even as demand for services and programming increases.
Donate
Amid ongoing cost-of-living pressures and growing industry precarity, more writers than ever are turning to Writers Victoria for community, support, mentorship and advocacy.
When you give to Writers Victoria, you support an organisation that gives back to its community. Every year, we:
- provide free or heavily subsidised places in our seminars, workshops and courses
- run free writing programs and facilitated writing groups
- provide advice and advocacy to writers in Victoria and beyond
- employ emerging and established writers as tutors, facilitators, speakers, manuscript assessors or mentors
Big or small, every donation helps us continue the work we do. We would greatly appreciate your making a contribution to Writers Victoria.
Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible. Online donations are secure.
