Join us today
Peninsula Writers’ Club is made up of emerging and established writers of all abilities over the age of eighteen, living on the Mornington Peninsula and in its surrounding suburbs. We are a passionate group of writers who gather regularly to write and workshop in company, offering fellowship, support and focus. New members are always welcome.
Where and when we meet
We host two regular monthly meetups, providing our members with the opportunity to write alongside each other in a group environment and enjoy writing in fellowship.
Write In sessions are held during the day on the last Friday of the month (excluding Public Holidays when we bring them forward one week) from 10am to 2pm at Mornington Community House.
Night Write sessions are held on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Mount Martha House.
These are member only events and are not open to the public.
Our workshops are held in response to member feedback and are planned at the start of every calendar year.
Visit our events page for more info.
During the year both the club and our members may organise social events, writing retreats and other opportunities for making connections and growing your network.
We’ve set the standard for putting community and support for writers at the centre of writers’ groups, and we are committed to growing the connections and capacity of writers on and around the Mornington Peninsula.
What we don’t offer is a manuscript assessment service, a critique group, a job board or editorial services for writers.
Below is our list of how we support our members to help one another:
Finding focus
Sharing experiences
Celebrating writing milestone
Encouraging new opportunities
Trouble-shooting writer's block
Creating networks
Downloading our ‘imposter syndrome’ fears
Connecting the writing community
The Peninsula Writers’ Club is a hive of enthusiasm, support and inspiration. I love meeting up with fellow writers to share ideas, works in progress and our writing journeys. As well as the wonderful authors that the PWC has organised to come and talk to us, or workshop with us, it has also given me an invaluable network of friends and writing enthusiasts that make this business of writing less solitary. I am extremely grateful for the hard work of its volunteers, and also for the encouragement, inspiration and support of all its members. Thank you!
Why Join?
Our inclusive community is a tight-knit, supportive group of people who want to build their own writing skills, develop connections, and feel some sense of accountability while writing in company, especially when the going gets tough.
You work through enough doubt and uncertainty on your own when you’re a writer, but hanging out with other writers when you need support and answers can make the path to writing success easier.
Meet other writers like you in the community
Network and share contacts and resources
Get involved in vibrant discussions about developing character and plot
Learn more about improving your writing from fellow writers
Step away from the desk and blow out the cobwebs
How much does it cost to be a member?
To be part of our scribe tribe, we charge an annual fee of $50 or $40 for over 65s and concession card holders.
For new memberships we apply a one-off registration fee of $20.
Members who cancel their membership and then choose to rejoin at a later date, will also have to pay the one-off registration fee. Membership can be paused or suspended for personal/work reasons and reactivated without having to pay the registration fee
Join us today, turn up to an event, nibble a few pen nibs and clack away at the keyboard in the company of local scribes.
Non-members are welcome at most workshops, but individual event fees will apply.
