Writing workshops for 2023 will be added to the Workshops drop-down menu, as they are scheduled.
Workshops
The Peter Cowan Writers Centre has conducted many workshops and courses in prose, poetry and memoir writing since the Centre was founded over twenty years ago. Our facilitators are all experienced presenters with literary qualifications and/or are published authors. The Centre will be running several workshops in 2023. These will be added to the website Workshop drop-down menu once registrations open.
PCWC members receive a $10 discount on our workshops, as do members of our sister centres Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre (KSP) and the Fellowship of Australian Writers WA (FAWWA). Our members also receive reciprocal member rates for KSP & FAWWA workshops. To secure your member discount, please quote your current PCWC membership number on the workshop registration form.
We look forward to welcoming you to Edith Cowan House for a Peter Cowan Writers Centre workshop.
