Isolated Writers
For writers unable to attend meetings because of distance or
disability, there is the Isolated Writers’ Regional (conducted by
correspondence), which provides support, advice, assistance and a chance
to contact and commune with fellow writers.
The FAW NSW State Office is proactive in
reaching out across the state of New South Wales to assist writers in
many ways. If you, as an Isolated Writer or a Regional would like some
information, assistance or a visit from your State Council, please
advise the
State Office.
Round Robin Critiques
It really helps to have your work read by others
and it ca
n
be difficult for Isolated Writers to receive unbiased comment on
their work. The Round Robin service offers just this opportunity.
It’s an easy to access, swap-critique network, where Isolated Writers
simply post their work to a central point (see below), from which
it is forwarded in turn to similar writers for their impressions and
comments. The comments of others are valuable to you, just as yours are
valuable to them. Even inexperienced writers have an opinion, and can
spot small errors or points that may make a difference to your story,
poem or article. All it costs is the postage to mail your manuscript and
have it returned, plus sending the work of others on to the next reader
on the list provided.Membership Applications and further details are obtainable from the Isolated Writers' Convenor
