BiographyHistory

Writing Australia, an initiative of the Literature Board of the Australia Council for the Arts, is a national organisation of state-funded writers' centres. Bringing together the writers' centres of the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria, Writing Australia will 'deliver services and programs for writers on a national level, while writers' centres from the remaining states will become associate members.

'The new body will provide an additional layer of professional skills development and promotion for Australian writers, including a national program of residencies, opportunities for mid-career writers to promote their work outside their home states, a national conference and links to similar overseas service organisations.

'A web-based information hub will also provide a meeting-place for writers across Australia, in cities and the bush, as well as provide on-line workshops, comprehensive information on publishing opportunities for emerging writers and a wiki-based meeting place for writers at every stage of their career.'
