Offshore Writers

There are many offshore writers in our community who contributed to the Offshore Anthology Water Access Only.

If you are interested in joining the Offshore Writers Community and meeting on a monthly basis to share your written work in a fun and creative environment, please use the contact details on this page; all published, unpublished and inspired writers are welcome.

Writers bring their own beverages and with shared nibbles and good humour in an offshore family home, read their written work to mammoth applause.

Water Access Only

As a result of past evenings such as these; in 2006, the Offshore Anthology, Water Access Only was compiled.

With short stories, poems and anecdotes, local artwork and superb photography from over 50 local residents, this book beautifully records the joys, adventures and colours of our offshore life.

“This is a rare and wonderful collection of off-shore life stories. Written by people who live in a world where the only way to get home is by boat, these little slices of history are funny, poignant, poetic and downright classy. Timeless treasures that will be cherished by generations to come, they are the stuff of tomorrow’s history and a joy to read”

Susan Duncan, author of the bestselling Salvation Creek, The House at Salvation Creek, and A Life on Pittwater.
