There are numerous benefits in belonging to the SAWC.
-
Members receive a 16-page newsletter every month containing information on the general writing scene, markets and national and international competitions, book reviews and articles on writing techniques.
-
The SAWC is the only association in South Africa which runs monthly competitions covering the whole spectrum of writing: novels, short stories, articles, poetry, plays, humour, children’s stories and science fiction. Professional writers judge these competitions and each entrant receives a full critique on work submitted, whether they are prizewinners or not. Copies of the prizewinning entries are published in the monthly newsletter.
-
A monthly meeting is held in Westville, each one with a guest speaker, discussing various aspects of writing, or holding workshops.
