Fellowship of Australian Writers WA

Supporting Western Australia's writing community

The Four Centres Emerging Writers' Programme at FAWWA!

The Fellowship of Australian Writers, FAWWA is delighted to announce that it will again offer an Emerging Writers’ Programme (EWP) with funding from the Department of Local Government, Sporting and Cultural Industries. The program will be run with assistance from Fremantle Press and in partnership with three other WA writing centres: Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers’ Centre (KSP), The Peter Cowan Writers’ Centre (PCWC) and West Australian Poets Inc (WAPI).

The EWP at FAWWA provides five mentored places and five unmentored places for a period of two years, July 2021 to July 2023. If you have a manuscript in the works, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for to develop it to a publishable standard while simultaneously developing your writing career.

If you would like to apply for a place on the program you need to be a member of the centre to which you are applying. Applications are welcome from adult writers of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs
