Fellowship of Australian Writers Western Australia - Events

FAWWA runs an ongoing program of writing groups and workshops. See the Calendar for details

Adult Born Storytellers Workshop - With Kevin Price

This is a workshop for adult writers. You need to have finished a draft or be well advanced on a major story project to benefit. We’ll start each morning with coffee at around 8:00 and have a read-aloud workshop starting at 8:30 that will last all day, probably finishing around 6:00pm on both Saturday and Sunday evening.

Of course we’ll have frequent breaks. Lunch and munchies will be provided. Dinner will not be provided.

This workshop is for storytellers working in short stories, novels, plays and screenplays in any genre except non-fiction, and memoir. (So, please, no prose poems or philosophical speculations disguised as fiction, children’s books or picture books.)

Enrolment will be limited to Eight (8) participants. Yes just 8. You will need to be able to concentrate for the whole two days and be prepared to have your work rigorously examined.

The cost is $250

Date: November 20th Saturday to November 21st Sunday

Run a Workshop or Group

If you wish to run a workshop or regular group at Tom Collins House (of any type; it doesn’t have to be related to writing), the Fellowship would be interested under the following conditions:

FAWWA would promote the workshop/group in its brochure (when possible) and through other avenues such as the FAWWA web-site. We would expect the workshop presenter to undertake the principal promotion for the event.

FAWWA would take bookings but expect the presenter’s contact details to be available for bookings as well.

Fees for the workshop/group should be set after discussion with the administrator at FAWWA, and a discount allowed for FAWWA members. The presenter will retain all fees collected less payments due to FAWWA for room hire. The current rate for this is $15 per hour.

Presenters should also provide refreshments for the participants. For a full day workshop participants should be advised to bring their own lunch. Contact us to discuss your ideas.
