Wednesday Speculative Writing Night

Sydney lacks a dedicated space for writers of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy and horror), and we're here to fill that gap!

Our aim is to provide a supportive community for writers at all levels, offering a platform for networking, dedicated writing time, craft discussions, and publication tips. Whether you're just starting or an established wordsmith, join us on the 4th Wednesday of each month at Chatswood Library.

RSVP through the library

Schedule:
5:30 - 6:00 pm: Introductions and casual chat
6:00 - 7:30 pm: 'Focus & Write' session
7:30 - 8:30 pm: Continue writing, or socialise and share your progress

What to bring: Your work-in-progress, whether on screen or paper.

Connect with fellow writers, explore the speculative fiction realm, and let your imagination soar at our regular writing meetups.

How to get there
Public transport: Chatswood Library is located in The Concourse, 350m from major Chatswood transportation hubs, including Chatswood train station and Chatswood bus interchange.

Parking: Parking is available at The Concourse car park accessible on Ferguson Lane via Archer St ONLY. Parking rates can be found here.

The library has lift access from The Concourse car park and from The Concourse, ground and upper levels. Parking is also available at Chatswood Chase adjacent to The Concourse on the corner of Archer St and Victoria Ave. The first 3 hours parking are free.

Cycle: Bicycle parking is available at library entrance.

Accessibility
For participants requiring stair-free access, this is available through the Ferguson Lane entrance through the parking garage. Ride shares or taxis should be directed to drop off at that location. If further assistance is needed please let the Meetup coordinators know in advance and we will do our best to assist.

Please be advised that access from Victoria Ave does consist of a significant flight of steps up into the Concourse area.

Our meeting room
We are in the Creator Space, straight down the main aisle from the front desk, though the sign may be obscured by books.

If you are unable to locate the Creator Space, ask the staff at the front desk for its location; they are expecting us.

Do note a 'yes' RSVP on Meetup does not confirm your place, please RSVP through the library so they can set out enough places for us on the night.
