About CLAWS

Our club was founded in 2019, right before the dark years, by a ragtag group of passionate writers wanting to build a home for creatives at Melbourne Uni. 

​

We act as a foundation for you to pursue writing, express yourself, and share your work with friends. 

 

Join us now - if you're feeling homesick!!
