Want to write?
The Writers’ room is a group of multilingual writers who meet every second Tuesday evening in Fairfield to work with mentor Peter Polities on crafting new mutlilingual work.
The Writers’ Room is about cultural democracy (who gets to read, write and share stories) and cultural innovation (how are those stories told).
The Writers’ Room is an invitation to join a supportive writing group for writers in Greater Western Sydney who write in languages additional to or other than English.
The Writers’ Room creates a space for people to be free to write regardless of form, language or publication history, and to gain the support of peers and insights into the craft of writing from experienced writers.
The Writers' Room is an affirmation of linguistic plurality, and an exploration of what the creative domain of multilingualism can enable.
Our starting point is creative play and experimentation, including an exploration of the exciting possibilities that the mixing of language worlds can create.
The Writers’ Room is developed for writers living or working in Greater Western Sydney regardless of the language(s) in which they write.
The Writers’ Room is is supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund.
