South Auckland Writers’ Group

The South Auckland Writers’ Group Story

South Auckland Writers’ Group is a welcoming community for anyone with an interest in writing. It suits both beginners taking their first steps and published authors looking to stay connected with fellow writers. The group focuses on creating a regular space where members can share work, exchange feedback and build confidence in their writing practice. Writers from the Manukau, Papakura and Counties areas are encouraged to attend, making it a convenient local option for those seeking ongoing support and inspiration without needing to travel far.

The Setting

Based in Papakura, Auckland, the group holds its meetings at the Papakura Library. Sessions take place on the second Friday of each month between 1pm and 3pm. This central location within the Papakura area allows easy access for members from surrounding districts. The library setting provides a quiet, practical environment suited to focused discussion and writing activities, helping participants make the most of their time together each month.
