The South Coast Writers Centre provides professional development, information and networks for writers and readers on the South Coast and Southern Highlands of NSW. The Centre aims to support and promote regional writers and writing on the South Coast of NSW. The Centre works towards fostering creative and professional development for writers of all stages, developing existing and new audiences for writers, and supporting the distinct literary cultures of the South Coast through the provision of literary events across the New South Wales South Coast and Southern Highlands. The Centre strives for the inclusion of South Coast writers in Australian literary culture, and ultimately endeavours to maintain social inclusion, access, equity and the participation of members in all aspects of the Centre. The South Coast Writers Centre is a membership-based, incorporated not-for-profit organisation supported by Arts NSW, Wollongong City Council and Wollongong Art Gallery
