Hosted By
Canberra Writing School
The Canberra Writing School (CWS) is based in Canberra, the cultural capital of Australia.
The CWS was originally established in 2002, and offered writing courses to students at senior high school and pre-tertiary levels locally, but has since expanded. In 2011 a variety of online writing related courses have been launched. These courses are suitable for those who are interested in writing, as either a recreactional pursuit, for education purposes or professionally. The courses offered here, will fill the gap between the academic courses offered in formal educational settings, and is more in line with shorter recreational courses, perhaps suiting those who do not seek formal qualifications at this point in time, but instead wish to hone their writing skills and enjoy their journey.
