With the rebranding came a move to the State Library of South Australia’s Institute Building, and plans to extend its reach, which would include "more free events, more writing workshops and three targeted year-long programs for writers at all stages of their careers".

[5] Members of the public can participate in many of their workshops, but membership of Writers SA gives access to additional services and discounts, including advice, information and support; opportunities for writing as a career, such as a professional referral service and a means for publication and promotion; access to other professionals of all kinds in the industry.

[9] In February 2024 Laura Kroetsch, who directed Adelaide Writers' Week from 2011 to 2018, was appointed CEO by the chair, Tanya Wilkins.

With funding assistance from the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, the programme was intended to take place from 2018 to 2020.

Participating writers included Bernice Chauly, Jane Howard, Karen Wyld and Manal Younus in 2018, and Alexis West, Whiti Hereaka, Royce Kurmelovs and Jennifer Mills in 2019.
