Literati membership – for individual practitioners

The Literati database is a platform for individual writers, illustrators, editors and book designers resident in Western Australia wanting to promote their publications and professional services to the marketplace. It is a searchable database that can be accessed nationally by publishers, festival directors, librarians, writers centres, schools and others who may be seeking your services.

To register in Literati you will need to have achieved one or more of the following:

• Publication – in any genre, with at least one full length work or three short works currently available; and/or
• Accreditation with Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd); and/or demonstrated experience as a manuscript assessor; and/or
• Demonstrated experience as a workshop facilitator, writing tutor or mentor.

What will membership of Literati give me?
Membership will allow you to create your own Literati Profile – a full professional profile including images and links to multi-media that you can update as required – published in the database and actively promoted by Writing WA to publishers, festival directors, librarians, schools, writers centres, and other potential employers throughout Australia.
Within this website your Literati profile will also be linked to any of your books that we review or feature as our Book of the Month in the For Readers section.
As a Literati member we will also prioritise your book launches and other activities for inclusion in the Noticeboard and Writing WA newsletters.
