Hunter Writers' Centre

Hunter Writers' Centre (HWC) is a not-for-profit organisation providing support and encouragement for writers, writing and storytelling. Hunter Writers' Centre operates on Awabakal Country and activates Nobbys-Whibayganba headland cottages through our project Lighthouse Arts. Our programs invite collaboration and creative development from all art forms and support a diverse range of artistic media in the Hunter region. HWC promotes and encourages writing and related cultural activities for both beginners and practised writers and artists. We achieve this through workshops, short courses, residencies, a network of local writer’s groups, competitions and awards, support in editing, manuscript development and publishing, art exhibitions and partnerships.
