Book Length Project Group

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:35:13 +0000

Working on a book-length project brings its own particular challenges, and often requires stamina, the ability to renew one’s enthusiasm as the project progresses, self-belief, continued belief in the project, and an ability to manage large amounts of material and sculpt it into some semblance of coherence.

FAWWA runs a monthly peer-support group where members who are working on a book-length project in any genre can meet to discuss and share aspects of their working process, read excerpts from their work if desired, and build strong networks with others in the writing community.

The group meets on the third Sunday morning of each month from 10.00-12.30, and is coordinated by Dr Iris Lavell. Iris has completed two full length projects – a PhD in English and Comparative Literature, and a novel to be published by Fremantle Press in 2013. She is planning to recommence work on another novel, once the editing process for the current book has been completed.

The group is conducted in a collaborative manner, and the content of the meetings will be responsive to the group’s particular concerns from month to month. The cost is $10 per session for members and $15 for non-members, and this will go to FAWWA to cover hire of the venue and light refreshments.

If you are interested in joining the group contact FAWWA or Iris at iriswriter@gmail.com

Bert Vickers Library

admin — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:38:36 +0000

Immediately after the bequest of Tom Collins House to the FAWWA in 1949, books were donated to establish a library of works by West Australian writers. Over the years the collection grew to include books relating to all aspects of Australian literature and memorabilia from local writers and the family of Joseph Furphy.

The library was fitted with jarrah shelving and cupboards made locally, thanks to a gift from Sue Vickers in memory of her late husband, Bert Vickers, a Fellow and long time member of FAWWA. Bertwas president in 1965-1966 and was made an Honorary Life Member in 1971. The new library was opened by the Hon. Peter Foss in 1993 and named the Bert Vickers Library.

Today the tradition continues for all members to donate a copy of their published work. The library also contains recent publications donated by Fremantle Press as well as the former OOTA collection.

FAWWA volunteer, Judy Mason has just finished creating an electronic catalogue of all the books.
This is a research library only. Although books may not be borrowed, members are welcome to work in the library.
