The aim of the Sydney Memoir Writers Group is to provide support and exchange ideas with other writers who are interested in finding out how to avoid the traps & pitfalls associated with writing a life story. To tell an authentic life story we need to go beyond the facts and events to find the realities that have actually shaped who we are. Often this truth can be quite unpalatable, but it can also be the most compelling reading. To share our experiences we first need to see how our family histo …

Sydney Writers Circle is a fun, relaxed Meetup group for anyone interested in writing.

Gleebooks’ Book Talks and Politics In The Pub are two of Sydney’s great institutions for the thoughtful and the curious. Having attended both for many years, I think there should be a meetup for others to do the same as a group. This meetup is for people who wish to attend talks given by authors and writers about books and/or politics. A number of other bookshops and libraries hold book talks as well. Any member may suggest an event like this, anywhere in Sydney Metro. And of course, the Sydney …

[Note: I started this group after discovering the awesome Writer Together group while living in London. I've copied much of their setup when creating this group for Sydney and I heartily suggest you check them out if you're ever in Ol' London Town] Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently enc …

OK, so 'non-fiction novelist' is a bit of an oxymoron, but what I mean is authors of creative non-fiction (i.e., not text books, or fiction set in an authentic historical setting) who are working on substantial projects that retell actual events using the techniques of fiction and varying degrees of creative licence, and who would like to publish for a general readership. Projects can be at any stage - if you're researching an event or figure and believe there's a great book in it you're welcome …

G'day, and welcome to Sydney's first Transmedia based meetup group. Exciting isn't it?

Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of t …

The intention behind this meetup group is an experiment to see if social media can be used to promote ALL the Science Fiction, Fantasy and Sci-Fi meetings that take place in Sydney over a year. Initially and foremost this meetup group will serve as a 'waiting room' for the annual Sydney Freecon (a Free Entry SF convention) and the monthly Sydney Futurian SF&F discussion meetings. I also hope to post news each month of Sydney's other meetings of interest to SF&F or Sci-Fi fans. My personal intere …

This group will explore the intersections between philosophy and theology, between atheism and theism, between science and religion, and between science and art. We use the original Greek form "philosophia" to emphasize a love of wisdom and to refer to the roots of philosophy in great ancient Greek writers like Plato and Aristotle, shown here from a painting by Rafael (1511). Plato points up to heaven and has been seen as the father of a more mystical tradition in philosophy. Aristotle spreads …

Discordia Zine was born out of a desire to disrupt the discourse and expectations around what it means to be a woman. We want to smash the dialogue that keeps us down and divided into small pieces and scatter it to the four winds. We’re 15 women who are sharing our stories in the hope of bringing about change in the way women are viewed, how we feel about ourselves and to inspire debate that challenges the system.
