Tips & General Information
Read publication for the types of articles, essays and stories published. Visit the website to get a feel for the debate and discussion that develops around each issue. Develop a specific idea and be prepared to describe how you will approach it in terms of style and content before approaching. Think about specific stories rather than general overview articles. Prefer insightful detail and sharply observed experience than a survey of the field.

This is a vibrant community of people with a passion for storytelling. Novels, short stories, family memoir or local history – whatever your writing interest, you’ll find encouragement and a friendly audience at the Gympie Writers Group.
