For the love of writing.

Welcome to PCWC!

It’s lovely to have you with us for an inspiring & exploring time of creative writing.

Peter Cowan Writers Centre (PCWC) is both place & space for those who love to explore their imaginations, their literary selves, and their writing pleasures. Whether your creative writing is for the thrill of it, you are developing a writing career, or you are an established writer, PCWC is a place to build opportunity around your creative writing.

PCWC’s members explore all forms of creative writing: flash fiction, short story, fictional novel (both genre & literary), children’s, young readers, and young adult, memoir, biography, autobiography, personal essay, screen, theatre, and creative non-fiction.

You might be starting out, discovering the joys of writing, or you may have been enjoying writing for some time, whatever your circumstances or background PCWC welcomes you. Engaging with other writers builds skill and craft through shared knowledge and connection. Bring pen and paper, or laptop, and come along to our groups, classes, workshops, or events and say hello. We’d love to see you here exploring your potentials!
