Peter Cowan Writers Centre Inc is a fully volunteer run Centre. For thirty years volunteers from all walks of life, and writing persuasions, have built opportunities for those who love to write, want to write, or are writing! PCWC doesn’t exist without a village getting behind it and we are always looking for people, with a variety of skills and backgrounds, to be part of our team. We are serious about writing and creating opportunity but we also like a laugh, a good time, and the thrill of achievement!!!
