In his younger days as he walked the beaches of our bay, Richard always knew there was something missing. He felt the presence of those who were here before him. And as he tells us ‘when you look for something, it reveals itself to you.’
The Western Port Writers Group is the second iteration of an idea by a local emerging writer Tessa Moriarty, to create a regular gathering of locals who share the love of writing. Two of the group members write about their experience of the fortnightly sessions.
We are excited to announce another issue of our festival magazine. Western Port Writes News is hot off the press from Galaxy Printing in Hastings.

Western Port Writes had the pleasure of hosting our inaugural Author Morning Tea with one of our local authors, Garry Disher, at the Tulum Store in Balnarring Beach on Wednesday 29th May. Quaint and cosy, the Tulum provided not just delicious coffee and pastries, but the perfect setting for storytelling at its best.
Western Port Writes is delighted to support the Mayor’s Short Story Writing Awards. If you’re a writer – what are you waiting for? Just one entry each, so make it count!
Join us for coffee and cake, and hear Garry Disher talk about his new book, Sanctuary.

We acknowledge the Boon Wurrung | Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of these lands and the original storytellers. We honour their enduring connection to land and sea and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
