Writers' Group Application Form

Writing Group Application Form

2025 Calendar Year
Thank you for your interest in hosting your writing group at Writing NSW.

This form will help us consolidate room requests and better understand your group interests, aims and requirements.

This form should be completed by the group convenor and will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete. If you have no changes to the dates and format of your meeting it will take much less time.

Please note this form cannot be paused once it has been started.

To save the loss of any work, ensure that you have the following information ready before proceeding:
- the details of a secondary convenor
- whether your group is meeting in-person or online
- meeting date requests for 2025
- the group's goals & admission requirements
- the full names of all group participants in a Word or Excel document which has been separately emailed to you
You will receive a confirmation message once your application has been successfully submitted. Writing NSW will then contact you in mid-January 2025 once your room/zoom bookings have been approved.

If you have trouble with the form, please contact us for assistance.
