THE WRITER'S CIRCLE (Of Pine Rivers Area)

The Writer's Circle was formed in June 1996 at the request of U3A students of Vera Murray's Short Story Writing Course -
the aim of the group being to bring established and aspiring writers together for encouragement, critique and to increase knowledge of their chosen genre.

Three books of members' work have been published, and been very successful, and some members have found success in being accepted and published in various papers and magazines.  Once a year a retreat has been organised at Bribie Island with guest speakers and workshops.

Meetings are held on the second Saturday afternoon of the month

I, Veronica (Vera) Mary Murray was born in Allora, Queensland, Australia. I worked for many years for the Federal Government and was a Shire Councillor during the 1980’s. I have been writing since school days and at thirteen was invited to read my poems on a radio station’s Children’s Hour. At sixteen I had my first short story published. After teaching writing for the U3A I formed and ran the Writers Circle Group for many years. My overseas writing experience includes the editing and forming of a magazine in a vast housing estate in India.  I have had poems, short stories etc. accepted for publication in magazines and anthologies, and have won some prizes in competitions.

‘MOVE OVER JAMES BOND and other stories’ published in 2009 will be followed by a full-length mystery in 2010.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Words can be breathed, broken, minced, eaten. The word was in the beginning. Words are fun. Hieroglyph. Message. Logos. The Manifestation.

‘What is the Theme?”  In terms of human emotions it is love, fear, ambition, greed, revenge
