MARION, formerly known as the ACT Writers Centre, has been serving and supporting writers in the region since 1995. Over this period, numerous writers have been helped on their writing and publishing career through the broad and varied range of services, professional programs and support offered by MARION. It is no easy challenge to successfully cater for writers at all stages of their career across the spectrum of writing genres. A number of the members are editors and manuscript reviewers as well as writers; the two skillsets complementing each other.
