The Sunshine Coast Literary Association Inc. works to encourage and develop writers and readers on the Sunshine Coast.
The Association was formed in 2005 by Tom Hampstead and a small group of enthusiasts. Various workshops, seminars and an awards program were successful in creating interest. A Writers, Artists Readers Magazine (WARM) magazine also was published for several months but was shelved owing to increasing costs. A monthly E-News now takes its place and the organisation runs regular literary workshops, events and holds annual awards making every month a WARM month.
