FAWWA ~ Western Australia's first writers' network

Established in 1938, The Fellowship of Australian Writers WA (FAWWA) is Western Australia's longest established writers' organisation. Our founding members included local literary luminaries such as Walter Murdoch, J.K.Ewers, Henrietta Drake-Brockman and Katharine Susannah Prichard...

Here at FAWWA, we continue to value creativity, authenticity and integrity.
      And we pay homage to the writers and thinkers of the past who have helped to shape our culture and and community.

At our home base - Tom Collins House, Swanbourne - we aspire to maintain a haven of tranquility and retreat, but also a place where we can sense the energy of our founders, and celebrate our heritage of independent thought and creativity.

Originally conceived as a social and professional network for writers, over the years our members have worked together to promote the interests of writers in the broader community in a wide variety of ways, including:

• lobbying for the establishment of writer's centres such as KSP in Greenmount, and the Peter Cowan Writers Centre in the northern suburbs of Perth,
• inaugurating the 'Writers on the Road" program to tour authors to schools across country WA.
  

We are always on the look out for new projects to nurture and support a vibrant community network of writers across the state, with the support and involvement of our members and sponsors.

And we continue to offer an ongoing program of public events and writing workshops, as well as our ongoing writing group on Tuesday nights at Tom Colins House.

Our current vision for FAWWA To continue to engage writers and other creative thinkers across Western Australia in creative dialogue as we explore and promote the contribution that writers and writing can make to a positive sustainable future, both locally and globally.

Proud to be supported by our sponsors:
