OMEGA CHRISTIAN WRITERS
Ruth
Bonetti and Sharli Zwart formed Omega Writers in
September 1991 to support and encourage Christian
writers. Based in Brisbane, distance members have been
affiliated from as far away as Darwin and Sydney.
Members’ work has been published in fields as diverse as
novels, journalism (social and family issues, travel),
books for readers with intellectual disabilities, drama,
poetry, theology, devotions, music and illustration. Some
members’ novels have been translated into Braille; others
have recorded their material on radio or have produced
original cantatas.
In 1994, Omega Writers presented Gallery, a performance
of writers’ work enhanced by music, art, drama, spiritual
dance and graphics, to an audience of about 900 people.
Four years later, a volume of stories, poems and other
writings entitled Seasons of Giving was published. Most
stories derived from true situations.
In 2007, the group also backed the inaugural Alpha 2
Omega Literary and Dramatic Arts Convention.
