The purpose of the South African Writers’ Circle is to encourage and assist all writers, new and experienced, and to promote the art of creative writing in general. The organisation was founded in 1960 by Fay Goldie, as the Durban Writer’s Circle, but owing to the increasing interest shown in our activities from outside Durban, our name was changed to ‘The South African Writers’ Circle’ in 1985.
Members receive 11 newsletters per year, with a joint Dec/Jan issue, containing information on the general writing scene, markets and national and international competitions, book reviews and articles on writing techniques.
We run a monthly meeting in Durban where we feature a guest speaker, discuss various aspects of writing and hold workshops. If you’re a seasoned writer, just starting out, or looking to hone your skills, we’d love you to become a member. Join us in Room G4 below the Westville Library.
Join us for our monthly meeting at the Westville Library on the third Saturday of every month at 11h30. The fee for members is R10 and the fee for non-members is R20. Each meeting starts with a guest speaker, discussing various aspects of writing, followed by a workshop.
The SA Writers’ Circle 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.
