Online retreat for Christian writers
Our two-day online retreat for Christian writers is held every second-year. It features Australian and international speakers, writing craft workshops and opportunities for online networking.
Our next online retreat is 10-11 October 2025. The theme is “Transformation: Renewing our minds – Sharpening our skills – Writing with purpose.”
It’s a cost-effective way to attend a conference – without the travel expenses! Come along and benefit from the depth of learning and encouragement available to you as a Christian writer.
“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.”

Christian Writers Events and Conferences
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.
We run a biennial in-person writers conference, a Christian writers online retreat and occasional writing masterclasses. We also support chapter groups around Australia.
Australian Christian writers conference
The Omega Writers bi-annual conference is our flagship event for Christian writers. It attracts writers in all genres from around Australia and New Zealand and high-calibre international guest speakers.
The next Omega Writers in-person conference for Christian writers will be held in 2026.
Our Christian writers 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.
“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.”

Christian Writers Masterclasses
Improve your writing and learn new skills with our Omega Writers Masterclasses.
These online workshops are offered several times per year and taught via Zoom for 1 hour. Learn from experienced
writers across a variety of topics and genres. Cost is usually $30 for non-members, $20 for members.
Masterclasses are advertised here and on the Omega Writers social media channels. Check back for more details.
“[Omega Writers] gives you a nice network and access to some really good and helpful courses and gets you part of a community as well. And discounts make all the difference when you’re a poor author.”
Lynne, Omega Writers member
Conference Scholarships
We know conferences can be expensive, especially for writers who are starting out. That’s why we offer Conference Scholarships for first-time attenders.
We invite you to contribute to our Scholarship fund! If you’ve attended the Omega Writers conference and benefited, please ‘pay it forward’. You can give another writer an opportunity to be blessed from being part of the learning and fellowship of the Conference.
