The Queensland Writers Centre (QWC) is an innovative community arts organisation that supports, celebrates and showcases Queensland writers and writing in all its forms. We work with our members and partners to promote a vibrant and diverse writing community across Queensland. QWC works to uplift the practice, development and recognition of writers and develop a culture of writing, reading and creating.

As the leading support and resource centre for writing in Queensland, we offer a comprehensive online and in-person range of services. We provide information and advice for anyone interested in writing, whatever their level of experience or ambition.

QWC is part of the National Writers’ Centre Network – Australia’s largest network of writers. The network supports and connects writers in all the states and territories of Australia. Together we represent more than 10,000 members, and a far broader constituency of early career, emerging and established authors – across all genres, all styles and all parts of Australia.

Our members are published authors, emerging writers, young writers, children’s authors and illustrators, screenwriters, journalists, editors, agents, publishers, poets, storytellers, playwrights, cultural producers, freelance writers, teachers, academics, critics and community members seeking to include writing as part of their creative life.
