Mawhera Writers (Greymouth)
Formerly West Coast Writers, this group welcomes writers of all genres to write together, get feedback on their work, and to discuss all things ‘writing’ in a respectful, encouraging environment. Don't worry about your level of experience – everyone is welcome! The group meets on the first and third Sunday of each month, 11 am – 1 pm, at the Left Bank Gallery, 1 Tainui Street, Greymouth. Gold coin donation for venue appreciated.
Their next meetings will be on Sunday 5 & 19 December. Contact Katrina Brown at kbtaiwan@gmail.com for more details and to go on the group mailing list. Follow them on Facebook at https://bit.ly/FB-MawheraWriters to find and share writing-related updates and discussion relevant to the group.

STEMWriters at Nelson Library
STEMWriters is a small group with widely varying interests in writing, from short fiction to social commentary, social history and poetry.

For more information contact Jackie Cook at taongajac@gmail.com
Golden Bay Writers Group
The Golden Bay Writers Group meets monthly in Takaka. Meet up to connect, work on writing projects and share feedback in a supportive way.
The next meeting will be held Saturday 18 December from 10 – 12.30. It will take place at the Takaka Co-housing Project Office as the usual meeting place (GB Community Arts Council, 24 Commercial Street) is not available this month. If you love to write, join us! In this group we write and creativity flourishes. Within a two and half hour time frame we write for four minutes, then 40 minutes. We like to start promptly at 10 am to make the most of the time, so arrive at 9.50 am. Please bring your own paper/writing journals and pens, as well as cash koha for the use of the venue. The theme for December is ‘Goodbyes said and unsaid …’. This will be the last meeting for the year, and we hope to meet up again February 2022.
We believe everyone is a writer. We provide a safe space to both write and share our writing. A primary intent of connecting in this way is to hear each other’s work and to reflect on its impact upon us rather than offering critical review. Our aim is ease; writing, reading and responding are all optional.
Everyone is welcome to Golden Bay Writers Group meetings. The date and venue can vary, so for details contact Charlotte Squire at 027 525 7455 or charlottesquirecoms@gmail.com
