We're excited to introduce you to the new Writing WA mark which you will start to see rolled out in various contexts over the next few months. Created for us by the talented team at Block Branding, we think it perfectly captures and reflects our role in the sector:
working between the lines and behind the scenes to grow a State of opportunity for writers and books in Western Australia – not only for the development of writing practitioners themselves, but for the immense social value that great writing brings to communities and individuals.
Podcasts for you
We’re excited to be able to share three podcasts from the 2018 WA Writing and Publishing Sector Forum. These sessions were all hugely popular with our live audiences and are rich with information for writers and other sector practitioners.
Measuring Social Impact with June Moorhouse, Nin Kirkham and Kate Noske.
Podcasting - the Next Big Thing? with Claire Miller, Sarah Tout and Meri Fatin.
The Art of Live with Laurie Steed, Jan Nicholls and Meri Fatin.
