- notes
- Founded in 1995, the Peter Cowan Writers Centre began operation as the Northern Writers Association. Early in 1998, Edith Cowan University set aside a room for the Centre in the newly constructed Edith Cowan House on their Joondalup campus. We hold regular meetings, conduct workshops and creative writing classes, sell members' books, make equipment available at cost, such as a scanner, printer, photocopier, guillotine, heat sealer, laminator and internet. The centre holds writers' retreats, meet the writer sessions, books launches, and much more.
GENERAL MEETINGS
First Thursday each month. 7:30 to 9:30pm.
Members free, visitors $3 - supper provided.
In summer months, the meetings are held outside under the pine trees and invited guests speak about various aspects of writing, publishing etc. In the cooler months we move into the house where members read their work for comment by fellow writers.
Fellowship of Australian Writers (W.A.)
- Tom Collins House Writers Centre is the base for the Fellowship of Australian Writers, WA (FAWWA). Founded in 1938 by a group of accomplished WA writers, Tom Collins House was left to the FAWWA by Samuel Furphy, son of Joseph Furphy who wrote "Such is Life."

- The annoying and cloying elastic YOU effect (the "Elastic Trail" effect) used in the top page of this site (and which, at present, Netscape6 users - sorry guys - will regretably only see as a daggy logo of differently shaded, superimposed letters, ie. Y, O, and U) was developed from a script by Philip Winston featured on the Dynamicdrive.com site.
