Brisbane Lesbian Women Writers Group

Announcing the formation of a new community of lesbian women writers meeting once a month, from 2pm to approx 4pm every third Sunday in the courtyard at Avid Reader, Boundary St, West End. We're interested in finding ways and means to support lesbian women writers/ing in Brisbane and surrounds (ie within a 40k radius from the GPO in Edward St City). Some of the ideas we have so far are: monthly meetings to workshop work in the short term, but eventually, we would like to hold regular public readings, produce an annual anthology of our work, raise funds to pay for a weekend retreat and perhaps even invite agents or publishers from the industry to address the group. This group is NOT only for published lesbian women writers but also for those lesbian women interested in stoking the fires of their creative writing imaginings. On a final note if you have any questions re the definition of lesbian women please contact Sharne at doccarooni2006@yahoo.com.au. In fact, for further queries about the group please contact Sharne.
