The Hibiscus Coast Writers group has, right from the beginning, been all about writing, learning about writing, sharing of knowledge, and having fun.

Anyone can join. Our membership is diverse and welcoming.

How We Started

A meeting was called in 1993 by the late Daphne Calderwood, Gloria Shirley (now Rockwell) and Pamela Bell to see if there were people on the Hibiscus Coast who were interested in forming a writers group.  The first Hibiscus Coast Writers (HCW) monthly meetings began with 28 members. Some of the original members have become Life Members; some have left the district, but still maintain their membership; and, over the years, many new members have been welcomed.

Today

The club holds regular monthly meetings, has a wide range of guest writers come and speak to us, conducts an assortment of interesting workshops, and mounts a variety of yearly writing competitions, concluding with an annual prize giving ceremony held every December.
