Our Story
Bunbury Writers Group (BWG) is locally recognised as the go-to place for writers to share their love of the written word. Its members comprise all writing abilities that cover a range of genres.
​
This sharing process involves evenings of writing to prompts provided by participants and other evenings where writers present sections of work-in-progress to the group for evaluation and constructive feedback. Learning opportunities are present in the discussion process, both through the receiving and the giving of supportive feedback.
​
Founder of BWG, Ben Mason, quit teaching at the end of 2017 to follow his dream of becoming a writer. He experienced a need to share his work for constructive feedback and realised there was nowhere he could go for critique or to use as a sounding board. A bit of research and social media interaction soon led to the establishment of this thriving writers' group.
​
Members attest to the benefits of being part of such a creative force.
-
"Bunbury Writers Group is the creative inspiration that has been missing in my life." says one member. "There is nothing better than being inspired by inspirational people."
-
Another member now enjoys introducing himself as a writer at parties. "Because I have figured out that I am one!" he says.
-
Another describes how he is enjoying bookending his longstanding love of songwriting and performing - neither of which are his day jobs - to writing play scripts and fiction.
-
Members all agree that with a group like this there's no excuse to have writing missing from your life.
​
The creative force within the BWG has led to the publication of three collaborative collections of stories and poems.
