Why Become a Member?

Membership of Ballarat Writers brings you into a warm and supportive community of local writers. You’ll be eligible for discounts at local cafes and bookshops, enjoy events and readings, and receive a regular newsletter. Membership is not expensive but the value is huge.

Each month we have a reading night where you can share your work, enjoy other people’s poetry and stories, and socialise with other local writers in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

You will receive a regular newsletter full of news about writing and writers in Ballarat and surrounds, lists of sponsors who offer discounts to members as well as information on markets and competitions, upcoming workshops and events.
