The Watermark
Literary Society was incorporated in December 2003 following the inaugural
Watermark International Nature Writers' Muster.
Purpose
The purpose of the Society is to celebrate literature
of nature and place and create opportunities for writers and readers to
meet, share and enjoy that literature. We do this by:
-
Conducting
the Watermark Literary Muster every two years, drawing
to the Camden Haven writers and presenters of the highest quality
and literary reputation from throughout Australia and the world, and
encouraging the participation of readers from across Australia and
New Zealand
-
Focusing
on interaction and intimacy at Watermark to ensure an inspirational
and exciting experience for all participants
-
Offering
a Literary Fellowship in alternate years to provide an emerging
Australian nature writer with the opportunity
to spend three weeks working on their writing
-
Partnering
with like-minded organisations to underwrite the Society's two main
activities and make the most of marketing and publicity opportunities
-
Organising
associated literary events and activities throughout the year that
support the Society's purpose
