Vision Writers is a critique group ​for writers to share feedback ​and advice in a welcoming, ​inclusive writing community.

Our purpose

Vision Writers Group was founded in ​September, 1996 by Rowena Cory ​Daniells, Marianne de Pierres and ​Adrianne Fitzpatrick.

Our goal to give science fiction, fantasy ​and horror writers in Queensland a ​chance to meet their peers, have their ​work critiqued and critique the work of ​others.

We’re about writing, sharing experiences ​and expanding the opportunities for ​speculative fiction writers in Queensland ​and Australia.

Our goals

The group is centred on our monthly ​meetings and the forum. Our aim is ​to foster a literature-based ​speculative fiction community that ​produces good stories and good ​writers.

At the meeting

At the meeting, we go around the ​table, one submission at a time, and ​give feedback to the writer. Feedback ​should be constructive, helpful and ​honest, while also being kind and ​thoughtful.

Submitting work

If you would like to submit for the next ​meeting, please note only four are ​critiqued each month.

You will need to upload your files into ​the 'critiques for next meeting' folder on ​the forum at Saturday midday before the ​meeting.

Maximum word count is 5000 words and ​the works must be speculative fiction ​(horror, sci-fi, fantasy, magic realism, ​etc).

If your work is very graphic (sex or ​violence), you may want to put a ​warning on the first page.
