SPOTLIGHT ON…
The Victoria Park Writers’ Group
It may be of interest to your worldwide readership that we have a small group of our own ‘downunder’, The Victoria Park Writers Group, which meets fortnightly in Victoria Park, south of Perth, writes Robin Teese. Members contribute short stories and essays, which range from fiction and non-fiction to poetry. For purely practical reasons, these have a limit of 1,000 words.
The group has been going for about five years and we enjoy listening to the many and varied contributions of our members and providing constructive comments. We have also run our own workshops on such topics as dialogue, humour and the opening line and have occasionally invited guest speakers, to obtain professional support for our writing. Victoria Park Writers Group has a large membership and a website which keeps members informed of competitions, social events and our fortnightly homework theme.
