EnglishWhat is Writing WA and who does it serve?
Updated
Writing WA is the peak body and advocacy voice for Western Australian writers. It supports the creation, development and sharing of diverse Western Australian writing and storytelling. It serves writers and the broader writing and storytelling sector in Western Australia — anyone whose work involves creating or sharing WA stories. The site also publishes Events and News sections, which are the main public-facing channels for sector updates.
Who it serves
- Western Australian writers — the organisation describes itself as "the voice for Western Australian writers," so advocacy for this group is central.
- The wider writing and storytelling sector — its stated purpose covers supporting the creation, development and sharing of writing and storytelling, not just individual authors.
- Anyone interested in WA writing — the public Events and News sections suggest the site is also a way for readers and sector participants to follow what's happening.
What it does
Writing WA's stated role has three connected parts:
- Advocacy — speaking for the sector and representing writers' interests.
- Supporting creation and development — helping writing get made and developed.
- Sharing — supporting the dissemination of diverse Western Australian writing and storytelling.
The emphasis on "diverse" Western Australian writing signals that breadth of voices and stories is part of the mission, not just a single style or genre.
What you'll find on the site
| Section | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Events | Listings related to the writing sector |
| News | Updates and announcements from the organisation |
These two sections are the clearest practical entry points if you want to see current activity rather than just the mission statement.
When this matters to you
- If you're a WA writer looking for a sector body that advocates on your behalf, Writing WA's self-description places it in that role.
- If you want to follow WA writing news and events, the Events and News sections are where to start.
- If you're researching the organisation, the site's own description is the most direct source for its positioning.
