AUSTRALIAN POETRY JOURNAL

As our flagship publication, the Australian Poetry Journal is of the highest quality. Featuring only the best contemporary Australian poetry and criticism, the journal reflects current priorities and trends in the poetry industry. The journal also includes a range of incisive critical reviews and articles highlighting the most interesting debates and discussion in Australian poetry today.

APJ supports the profile of Australian poets and poetry both nationally and internationally and is a valuable resource for poets, students of poetry and poetry enthusiasts alike.

The theme of the journal is not prescriptive and emerges organically depending on the content of our submissions.

Changes in 2013

Changes in the leadership and membership of the Wordsmiths of Melton writing group has left this blog languishing for several months and the new year it as good a time as any to make a fresh start and take the blog from its limited focus to function as a shout-out and networking registry site for all writers and poets living or working within the Shire of Melton.

The blog name has been changed to Writers of Melton to reflect the broader scope and increased networking and other opportunities for these talented writers.

These pages can be used to as a page link to your own blog or web, to advertise your writing business or promote your latest book or other publication.

As there are many award winning writers living in the Shire of Melton, I hope they will take the opportunity to use these pages as part of their own writing platform - to let the world know of their talents and successes.

What is a writer's group?

A writer's group is basically a group of people, who like to write, meeting periodically to read, critique and support one another's work. A writer’s group also offers opportunities to learn about writing techniques and information about the industry with readings, workshops & presentations. It requires a fair amount of trust and self-awareness, and a desire to learn and grow as a writer.

A well functioning writer's group acts as a supportive environment for everyone in the group, with an aim to improving individual writing skills and habits.
