Inner West Writers Group - Write Club

Saturday 14 November is an in-person event at Marrickville Library. RSVP to secure a place! This group started in January 2020 in a beautiful private room granted by Marrickville Library. We have continued to meet in person fortnightly at the Library, with alternate weeks via Zoom. To keep up to date - sign up and receive our notifications. The group is flourishing! You will need to RSVP each week for the following Saturday so we can organise the right number of Zoom rooms and Library space to ensure good quality feedback. RSVP's will receive the link. The intention is to give a supportive environment to get traction on your writing project, gain useful feedback, and exchange writing and publishing information with each other. Please note that if you are attending for the first time - you are welcome to observe and listen to how we work. Your turn to read and be critiqued will be invited in the second session. So come along, bring up to 1500 words of your latest writing - fiction writers of all types, memoirists, biographers, graphic novelists, bloggists, poets - all writers welcome. You will have up to eight minutes to read out your work, an equal time of constructive critique and feedback from the rest of the group. If you want a tribe of fellow writers to be with you as you finish your writing project, build your author profile, want to get inspired by other writers, or want to just listen and give constructive feedback (we all need beta readers), you are very welcome. This is a free event, but membership is essential to attend. Many thanks to Marrickville Library!

Sydney SEO Collective - Frederic Chanut (The AI Attribution Gap)

The Sydney SEO Collective is back for our November 2026 meetup! After a month off in October, we're returning with a question every SEO is being asked right now: what is AI search actually worth? This month, we're thrilled to have Frederic (Freddy) Chanut, Founder and Executive Chairman of In Marketing We Trust, as our keynote speaker. He'll be presenting "The AI Attribution Gap: What AI search is actually worth." AI assistants read everything we publish and send almost nobody back, and our analytics stack was never built for that trade. Most teams can now tell you whether they show up in AI answers. Very few can tell you what that visibility earned the business. In this 30-minute talk, Freddy will present seven instruments that turn the question from "are we visible" into "what did it earn". The first four are free, and you can have them running by Friday. The next three are about getting your answer heard in the boardroom, so you can walk into your next budget conversation with numbers instead of screenshots. Freddy is a Sydney SEO industry veteran and founder of In Marketing We Trust, where he works at the intersection of search, data, growth and AI. He's spent over 15 years looking at the web through Google's Goggles, holding CMO, Managing Director and head of inbound marketing roles along the way. Today he helps mid-market and enterprise teams across APAC build growth engines and teams for their businesses.

The feedback we've had is that the Collective events have been a great way to meet others in the industry in a relaxed environment and share some tips and hints on what you might know that can help them become a better web marketer or developer. It's about asking those tough questions and getting group consensus on what is the possible implications or complications on a particular method or technique you're thinking of using. We encourage a mix of business owners, web developers, affiliate marketers, SEM and SEO professionals as we all have small tips that will help you perform better online and play smarter. SEO Collective is just a relaxed and informal session on digital and web marketing, come along and meet others in your community no matter if you're a business owner, consultant, in-house or part of a larger agency. ## RSVP now to claim your free ticket!
