Fellowship of Australian Writers

About The Fellowship

The Fellowship of Australian Writers (Vic) Inc is a non-profit making voluntary organisation which aims to bring together all those interested in writing for their mutual professional, cultural and social benefit, and to provide information and advice to them. The membership includes writers working in diverse fields. Current membership throughout Victoria is over 2000, with an increasing number of members hailing from states right across Australia. While FAW (Vic) Inc. is based in Victoria, the competitions and publishing opportunities advertised in its regular magazine The Australian Writer are open to all Australian writers

The FAW is a long established Australia-wide organisation, founded in 1928. We have autonomous branches in all states and territories with regional branches in country and metropolitan areas . The FAW is active on behalf of writers in areas such as government policy, literary awards, professional advice, representation of writers' rights and the promotion of literature. Contact addresses for particular regional branches are shown in The Australian Writer and some of their activities are listed on this website.

Please note that FAW (Vic) Inc. welcomes writers from every state of Australia but for local contact we would refer you to your local FAW branch. The opportunities printed in each issue of ‘The Australian Writer’ are open to ALL Australian writers.
