Becoming a fellow

Since its beginnings in 1938 FAWWA has honoured established writers in our community by bestowing them as Fellows.

 

Members who have recently achieved substantial publication are invited to apply for Fellow status.

 

To become a FAWWA Fellow you must:

  • Have had a substantial body of work published.

  • Have been a member of FAWWA for at least two years.

 

Applications should be emailed to:

 

A processing fee of $30 will apply. Your application should include a detailed list of published, performed or broadcast works with dates and details of publication, together with a list of literary prizes awarded for both published & unpublished works.

 

Contributions to newspapers, journals, ezines, websites and self-published works (except those that have received wide circulation and acclaim) should not be included.

 

Should the application be unsuccessful, the fee will refunded to the applicant, who may re-apply when further work has been published.
