About HomeWord. The New Writers' Group Incorporated committee welcomes you to our HomeWord Festival pages. The first HomeWord Festival was held in 2003 and three more followed between 2005 and 2007. All these past festivals were funded by Parramatta City Council Community Grants. Performance, workshops, writers forums and publication launches were the principal events. In 2008 our main activities will be running our gatherings at Merrylands and Parramatta, publishing an anthology and running another ZineWest Competition, see above. This year funding will come from the sale of our publications and a small entry fee to events.

"Words are the basis of most forms of cultural and artistic expression and there are many people and groups living
in Western Sydney who write for a profession, who aspire to tell the stories of their urban reality, who create and
perform songs, poems, films, and much more," Isabell Petrinic, Co-ordinator 2006.
