So, if you're a young poet or playwright, if you write prose for enjoyment or because you're compelled to put pen to paper, why not join our network of writers, authors and industry professionals.

'I joined the SA Writers Centre when I was sixteen. At that stage I barely had the confidence to tell people about my writing! The Centre not only offered me information about publishing, competitions, festivals, workshops and other avenues for pursuing my ambitions, but also welcomed me into a warm and caring community of fellow writers who have offered support every step of the way.'
