Omega Writers

Events

All Omega Writers events are designed to give Christian writers in Australia and New Zealand support and inspiration, skills and pathways to connect with a reading audience.

Conference

The Omega Writers bi-annual conference is our flagship event. It attracts writers in all
genres from around Australia and New Zealand and high-calibre international guest
speakers.

“The reason I come to the conference is because Omega Writers are such a beautiful group
of writers. There’s no competition between us and they will inspire and encourage you to
move into your journey of writing.”

Wendy, Omega Writers member

Our conference offers focused craft workshops, genre groups, networking opportunities as well as sessions on essential skills for writers, like time management, psychology marketing and more. Participants walk away with friendships and Christian encouragement unlike any other conference in Australia.

You’ll also benefit from the opportunity for one-on-one appointments with editors,
agents and publishers.

“One bright spot during the COVID lockdowns was the inauguration of Omega Writers biannual Zoom retreat. Without having to travel much beyond our lounge rooms, the attendees were blessed and encouraged by the presentations and interactions. It’s like a budget edition of Omega Conference, great for cementing friendships and increasing our writing skills.”

Meredith, Omega Writers Member
