The Heritage listed Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre offers daily, weekly and monthly accommodation for writers wishing to find a space in which to progress a major piece of writing. The Centre funds seven Writers in Residence a year (Please see the residency program pages) and rents accommodation to self-funding writers.
Opportunities exist for all writers to participate in, and contribute to, the literary activities at the Centre and in Western Australia by way of workshops, mentoring and readings.
The Centre is located in the hills east of Perth in Western Australia.
The ambience of the Centre is excellent for creativity and inspiration. 20-60,000 words are frequently achieved by our Writers in Residence in a four week stay, in between enjoying the interaction with local writers. Writers in Residence Comments
