EWG Operating Framework

The Eurobodalla Writers operates as two groups:

  • An ‘Authors Group’ which meets by invitationat night on the first Monday of each month (February to December).  Members meet at a private home to learn, share, critique each other’s work and support one another’s larger writing projects. The group’s emphasis is on publication.
  • A ‘Daytime Writer’s Group’ at the Moruya library’s weekly ‘write-ups’, currently located in the Gubar Baran room. Its current format is for writers to drop in on Tuesdays from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm for quiet, self-directed writing time. A lead writer may facilitate a ‘share your work in progress discussion’ for the final half hour. If there is sufficient interest, this group may expand in terms of format, size, location, and other aspects suited to needs.
  • There is no membership, registration, or joining fee for either group. However, members will be asked to provide their preferred contact details, which will be shared among the groups. This is to enable writers to have access to ‘out of session’ critique of their work via email if required.
  • Eurobodalla Writers’ has these key roles/responsibilities:
  • A lead writer who facilitates the groups to encourage and inspire members to improve their storytelling skills:
  • A website administrator
  • A Convenor for the annual Literary and Art Salons delivered in partnership with the Moruya Library
  • Experts who offer their skills  to assist in judging the annual Mayor’s Writing Competition
  • Eurobodalla Writers’ online presence: Website is maintained while a member is willing to do so. Member donations prepay the WordPress annual subscription. The website showcases Eurobodalla Writers by publishing their work, sharing information about competitions, and promoting events such as the annual Literary and Art Salons.
  • Literary and Art Salons:*A writer who wishes to participate in the annual Salons will attend either group and provide their submission for peer review from within the group.*This is a mandatory requirement for participation in the event.
  • The Eurobodalla Writers will review its operations in November each year.
