New South Wales

New South Wales's writing-workshop scene benefits from a concentration of universities in Sydney, several of which run respected creative writing programs and public-facing workshops. The NSW Writers' Centre, based in Sydney, is a well-known hub for both emerging and established writers.

Community-run workshops are common in regional New South Wales as well, often tied to local libraries and writers' groups.

University and centre-affiliated workshops in Sydney can be more structured and application-based than community groups, so check the commitment level and any prerequisites before applying.
