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."
Bring your work-in-progress and get structured peer feedback. All forms of writing are welcome, every session.
Step up and read your original work aloud. Fiction, poetry, personal essay — all voices welcome, no judgment.
Literary trivia and general knowledge — a chance to hang with fellow writers outside of a workshop setting.
A dedicated day of writing, sprints, and creative challenges. Come to fill pages and leave with momentum.
Our annual getaway. Time away from campus to write, breathe, and bond in a focused creative space.
Our print anthology opens for member submissions each year. Watch our socials for the call — your work could be published.
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.
Join the Discord, follow us on Instagram, or just show up to a meeting. The door is always open.
Not at all! We welcome writers from all faculties and backgrounds. Whether you're studying engineering, medicine, arts, or anything else — if you write, you belong here.
Absolutely not. There's no pressure to share anything. Many members come to listen, learn, and just hang out. Share when you're ready — or never. It's completely up to you.
Everything. Short stories, poetry, fan fiction, comics, scripts, flash fiction, creative non-fiction, experimental work — if you wrote it, we want to hear about it.
We open submissions once a year. Watch our Instagram and Discord for the announcement. Any club member can submit, and all forms of writing are considered for publication.
We meet weekly on campus at Clayton. Exact times and room locations are posted on our Discord and Instagram at the start of each semester.
