Membership

Membership to the Society of Women Writers Victoria (SWWV) is open to women writers at any stage of their career – from professional writers to those who enjoy writing for fun and everyone in between. With your membership, you will have access to monthly meetings, 10 newsletters a year and weekly email from the President. You will be able to join Writers’ Groups and competitions and have your work considered for publication in Sparx.

We foster, encourage and support emerging writers. We also provide opportunities to network with fellow writers, published authors, editors, publishers and those in the broader writing community.

The Society also holds other events throughout the year that members can attend at a discounted rate.
"SWWV. I love it. I love the friendships I have made, the lessons I have learned and the contribution I have been able to make. I began writing alone, learnt alone, succeeded and failed alone. Now, as a SWWV member for more than thirty years, my writing life has been enriched and enlivened by a circle of sister writers and the programs and experience we offer each other as a united group. A lot of fun too. Did I mention that I love it?"

“I discovered the Society of Women Writers Victoria around 1995 and joined a Postal Workshop not long after becoming a member. I can’t consider not being part of a workshop, the input from fellow writers has been important in my growth as a writer. To me though one of the biggest joys is being allowed to ride along on different authors’ journey as they write and publish their books.”
