About the magazine
Writers SA is the peak body for writing in South Australia, established in 1985 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting writers at all stages of their careers. From its base in Adelaide, it has cultivated a literary community that values both emerging voices and established practitioners, offering a program of workshops, mentorships, residencies, and public events. Its core mission is to foster the creation and appreciation of literature in South Australia, with a particular emphasis on providing practical support and professional development for writers. The organisation operates with a clear commitment to access and inclusivity, running initiatives such as the Teen Writers Club and regional outreach programs that connect writers beyond the metropolitan centre. Writers SA maintains a pragmatic, writer-centred ethos, balancing advocacy for the sector with hands-on opportunities that help writers hone their craft and navigate the publishing landscape.
Submitting your work
Reading periodOpen now
Writers SA primarily offers programs rather than competitive submissions. For opportunities like the Teen Writers Club, applicants should demonstrate a genuine interest in creative writing and a willingness to engage with peers and mentors. When applying for mentorships or residencies, present a clear project outline and a sense of how the opportunity will advance your writing practice. It is advisable to check the website regularly for open calls, as deadlines and eligibility criteria vary. Writers SA values applicants who show commitment to their craft and an openness to feedback and community participation.
