Whangārei Writers’ Workshop

Why Whangārei Writers’ Workshop

The Whangārei Writers’ Workshop offers a warm and supportive atmosphere for writers in Northland. This established group has been bringing writers together since 1996, creating a community where members can read their work aloud and receive constructive feedback. The focus is on encouragement rather than obligation, with no pressure to share writing at every session. Writers are welcome to attend three sessions before committing to membership, allowing time to experience the group’s friendly dynamic and decide if it suits their needs.

Location and Directions

Based in Te Kamo, the workshop meets every Friday at the Kamo Club. Sessions run from 10:00am, typically concluding between 12:00pm and 12:30pm depending on the size of the group. This central Northland location makes it convenient for writers from across the Whangārei area to attend regularly and become part of the local writing community.
