Ubud Writers Festival


writingWA liaises closely with the directors of the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, with the aim of increasing opportunities for Western Australian writers to appear in this prestigious international event.

We are delighted that our work with Ubud will see three acclaimed writers from WA - Jon Doust, Colin Falconer and Vivienne Glance -  participating in the 2012 Festival. 

Singapore Festival of Children's Content

         
writingWA is also working closely with the National Book Development Council of Singapore, organisers of the Singapore Festival of Children's Content.  This annual festival was established in 2010 and continues to grow in its scope and reach with each passing year, attracting delegates from across Asia.  writingWA has secured funding from the Department of Culture and the Arts to support three West Australian authors and illustrators - Julia Lawrinson, James Foley and Raewyn Caisley - to participate in the 2012 Festival.
