Founded in February 2006, Adelaide PEN now has 25 members, including well known authors, poets and others involved in the local and international writing industry.

Adelaide PEN first showed itself at Writers’ Week during the Adelaide Festival of Arts in 2006, exciting interest from Radio Adelaide which resulted in a promotional broadcast. Adelaide PEN also worked with the SA Writers’ Centre in presenting an Open Forum on writing dangerously at the SA Writers’ Centre. 

Adelaide PEN is now planning its first public fundraising and promotional event to mark the International PEN Day of the Imprisoned Writer on 15 November 2006.
