DUES: $25 per year (new and prospective members can attend two meetings before payment) Crime Writers SA is a group for all South Australian based writers of crime fiction. We hold monthly meetings where we discuss everything from works in progress, comparison and analysis of various authors' techniques and styles, research tips and occasional guest speakers on topics like forensics and police procedures. Our goal is to become the public face of crime writing in SA and, as the group evolves, we hope it will become a place where people who enjoy the genre and understand how it works will be able to inspire and support each other through the entire writing process.

To be announced - watch this space!

The Mutant Stepchildren welcome beginning writers and well-seasoned professionals alike. Our requirement for membership is you write speculative fiction – which includes science fiction, and fantasy, and other manifestations of fantastic literature. If you write about ancient super-science, realities that dissolve and reform like mist, intelligent alien creatures from other galaxies, futures where machines have replaced humans, journeys to the furthest points of the universe, human beings with the power of the gods endowed by science and technology, magic realms where wizards and witches battle for the souls of mere mortals, monsters with human hearts, about heroes and heroines struggling against the forces of darkness, shapeshifters who catch the bus home on King William Street, and if you want to dream on the written page about worlds different from the common day reality, then you are invited to join the Mutant Stepchildren. Our group provides feedback and assessment on the writing of its members, discusses technical problems and other aspects of writing and publishing speculative fiction.
