Encouraging, supporting and promoting Tasmanian stories and storytellers


TasWriters acknowledges and pays respect to the traditional custodians of the island, the keepers of its history and stories.

May we learn to listen with open hearts to the stories of the past and commit to creating new stories together, in deference to the land and honouring the culture and humanity of those who have always cared for it.

Welcome to TasWriters, where writers connect for the latest information on Tasmania’s literary scene, get updates on events and find support.

We are here to help, whatever your query.

Or subscribe to our free newsletter that covers events, workshops and literary news.

Please note that we are in the process of moving the Tasmanian Writers Database to our new website. The database will be available once it is completely ported over.


Vale Jon Kudelka

As seen by the outpouring of shared grief, laughs, cartoons and anecdotes, Jon Kudelka was a man many admired.  He was a huge supporter of Lutruwita/Tasmania, as a place and for its people, and a champion of humour, justice, insight and creativity.  We are immensely grateful for what he has brought to the art and writing community and, particularly for TasWriters, the gift of Tassie the Hungry Book Devil, who has adorned our Hobart Writers’ Festival posters since he donated his talent and time in 2019 when he found out we had no funding.

On behalf of past and present Board and TasWriters members, we pass on our condolences to Jon’s family and friends.  He will be missed.

Thank you to Jon Kudelka for Tassie, the book hungry devil logo.

Upcoming events

The Blog


The Tasmanian Writers Centre was incorporated in 1997 and grew out of an already strong literary community. We re-branded to TasWriters in 2018.

Originally housed in Salamanca Arts Centre on the waterfront, TasWriters now finds its home on Davey Street thanks to a generous grant from the City of Hobart.

Joining TasWriters is an excellent first step for emerging writers and support for established writers. We are not-for-profit and put all our funds into supporting literature. We offer programs for both established and emerging writers, who can access discounts, exclusive newsletters and further support by becoming a member.

We invite you to join us today.

TasWriters Office Hours are now:   Mondays, 10am-3pm 

If you wish to attend the office please email first to arrange a mutually suitable time.

Please send us information about your upcoming events, opportunities and writing-related activities and competitions.

The newsletter is sent out on the last day of each month. Please ensure that we receive any items in time. They should be succinct and/or just a flyer and a link to your website.

Also, we love to hear about our members’ success stories.
