PRIZE-winning community group Writers Inc has been boosting literary careers for more than a decade with their unique critique approach.

Gathered once a month, writers of all genres, from fiction and poetry to broadcast scripts and satire, exchange their work-in-progress pieces with fellow members.

Offering suggestions rather than instruction, the collective of seasoned and aspiring writers aim to elevate the quality of their respective crafts through objective scrutiny.
