Projects
WTWG will run at least one group writing project per year. Our projects are fun, challenging, and aimed at getting our members’ work out there and published in some form. Projects are not at all compulsory, and are run outside our usual meeting schedule.
Write A Book In A Day
The Write A Book In a Day Challenge is run by the Kid’s Cancer Project, and consists of teams of up to ten people collaboratively writing and illustrating a children’s book in under twelve hours. The event is national, and aimed at raising money to fight childhood cancers. WTWG have created multiple award winning kid’s books as part of this challenge, and we’ve raised more than $20,000 for kid’s cancer treatment and research so far.
Anthology
WTWG recently completed a short story anthology project, partially funded by the Northern Beaches Council Arts Program. The book was a great success, and our authors and artists even made a little in royalties! Future anthologies are in the works for next year.
