CANBERRA CHRISTIAN WRITERS' GROUP
Founded by Dianne Porter in July 2018 to help support Christian writers navigate the challeging pathway from the writer's desk to publication by utilising the Annual Anthology as the living tool to complete this task. There is no cost to participate. We Plan to PUBLISH. Our annual group goal is to publish an anthology of our work for minimal cost and make it freely available as a downloadable PDF file on this site and via Trove on the National Library of Australia Data base. Hard copies of the 2021 Anrthology be for sale. Donations to help defray printing costs are always welcome. All content is donated with all copyrights retained by their creators. Work published is used with the authors permission and designed to promote thier work. This projects intent is to honour and encourage Christians who feel inspired to write. Our History: Founded in 2018 to support members, it soon became clear the major challenge for writers of all genres was getting published. This is how getting published became the primary goal of the group. In December 2019 our first Anthology for the Canberra Christian Writers' Group was published in a print version and as a downloadable online PDF file. A copy of this file can be accessed from the home page of this web page where it can be read online or downloaded free of charge. Members and visitors can print copies to keep or give away.
