Submissions are currently closed.

 

Curtin Writers Club is a space to give students the opportunities to network, improve their writing skills and get published.

We take submissions in any form of writing, including short stories, articles, blog entries, reviews, poetry, essays, and other writing. These can include past assignments, as long as they have been marked and returned at the time of submission.

You can also submit your writing to our very own Coze Journal, an annual print publication of CWC Members' writing.

About Photos 
If you're submitting a piece and have any photos related to the article, feel free to send them in to accompany your piece.
