Discovery Writers is a friendly group of local writers who hold regular meetings on the first Tuesday of the month (except in January) 12.30pm to 3pm in the Miles Franklin room, Hurstville Library.
A yearly program of writing topics underpins the group's focus on providing opportunities for writers at any stage and of any genre - from haiku to novels.
