I joined Women Writers Queensland after an author friend recommended it as part of building a network and learning from other writers. Since I joined in late 2023, I've learned so much and gained more confidence in my writing journey than had I beavered away in isolation. WWQ includes writers from various genres, interests and backgrounds. Some, like me, have only recently taken a serious interest in writing and we are in good hands knowing that the group includes successfully published authors, poets, and others who simply love writing for the joy of it. 

As I've come to know other members through the monthly meetings and events, my appreciation of the group has grown. Joining a group such as Women Writers Queensland offers many benefits, but like everything, what we put in sweetens the pot from what we take out.

Women Writers Queensland excelled in their 2024 Write Out West trip throughout our vast outback. I was so blessed to have been at their two-day workshop in Charleville; I learned so much, but more than what I learned, was the reigniting of my passion for writing. I set my writing aside several years ago believing I was not good at it. To have my passion back is such a joy. I am so pleased to have met such a wonderful group of women, so generous with their time, talents and tools. I am looking forward to developing a warm relationship with Women Writers Queensland—​I have so much to learn, and I look forward to the challenges ahead.​ Thank you to all who came so far to share your experiences with us out here in the bush.  With sincerest appreciation.
