New South Wales Writers' Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New South Wales Writers' Centre is an association established in Sydney in May 1991 to promote writing-based culture and the rights and interests of writers. Together with Varuna (Writers' House) and the Sydney Writers' Festival, the NSW Writers' Centre is the main support organisation for writers in New South Wales.
The Centre is managed by Executive Director and former federal politician, Irina Dunn. The Director and staff are responsible to a Management Committee elected every two years by Centre members. As of 2007 there were approximately 3,500 members.[1]
The Centre offers literary resources and professional information to writers. It organises or hosts events including book launches, readings, literary evenings, seminars, courses, workshops and lectures as well as acting as a meeting space for writers' groups and literary organisations.
The NSW Writers' Centre occupies a restored Georgian mansion set in the grounds of Rozelle Hospital (Callan Park). The Office is open from Monday to Saturday 9.00am to 5.00pm.
