Short stories, fanfic, comics, epic poems — a welcoming community of Monash writers who want to read your work and push you further.
Whether you write short stories, fanfic, comics, or epic 2,000-line poems — Monash Creative Writers is the club for you. We're a welcoming community of writers at Monash who want to read your work and support you.
Come to our weekly meetings for peer feedback and craft discussions. We've covered character creation, getting published, vampires in literature, and more. No pressure to share — feel free to come along and just chill.
"I came as a first-year with a folder full of half-finished drafts. The club didn't just give me feedback — it gave me readers who actually cared. By second year, I was on the Incisors & Grinders editorial team."
Each year, Monash Creative Writers produces a print anthology showcasing member work — poetry, prose, fiction, and everything between.
We also share resources to help you publish your writing in external journals and competitions. Getting published in a real venue is part of what we're here for.
Watch for our annual call for submissions — any club member can submit, and all forms of writing are considered.
From short stories to epic 2,000-line poems — if you write it, you belong here.

I'd written in isolation for years. Within two sessions, I had a critique partner and a reason to show up every week. The feedback is honest, the people are kind — a rare combination.
The performance nights changed how I think about my poetry. Hearing it out loud, in front of people who genuinely wanted to listen, was terrifying and completely necessary.
I submitted to Incisors & Grinders in my second semester and got in. Holding a physical copy of a publication with my name in it — that felt real in a way nothing else had.
