Elwood Writers’ work spans a diversity of styles and genres – their prose and poetry is recognised and published widely, in Australia and overseas. The group has been meeting every second Tuesday since its inception in 2007.
Each writer is engaged in their own individual projects. A selection of the group’s work is collected in the anthology Every Second Tuesday | Stories by Elwood Writers, published with Rightword Enterprises in November 2020. They regularly create and broadcast for Vision Australia Radio’s weekly literary program Cover to Cover.
Elwood Writers hosts annual literary soirées to present their work to a public audience. They have been invited to judge writing contests, including the St Kilda Historical Society short-story competition, and the 2025 American Writers Review literary contest.
The group recently discovered the benefits of week-long retreats, where the members focus on their fiction, poetry and memoir, and discuss their work over coffee and dessert, often in front of a roaring wood fire.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and write. We pay our respects to their cultures and stories, and to their elders, past, present and emerging.
