This year’s Writers Week offers a range of experiences across different locations from Strange Company small bar in Fremantle to the new hub at The University Club of Western Australia.
The Octagon Theatre’s evening program is a celebration of Australian storytelling featuring Kim Scott, Helen Garner, Tim Winton and William Yang. Meal-based events at The University Club’s restaurant embrace fashion, philosophy, literature and genre fiction and include guests such as Alan Hollinghurst, AC Grayling, Di Morrissey and Natasha Lester. There is a special focus on architecture, the centrepiece of which is a retrospective of Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine’s quirky documentaries about spaces and the people who use them. The University Club’s venues provide veritable theatres for dynamic interactions between readers and writers working in different genres, from rural romance and crime to memoir and poetry.
Visit the Boffins Books pop-up bookshop in The University Club to buy that must-have copy of the book you've been hearing about. Browse a range of titles from the guest authors amongst an eclectic selection of technical, practical, specialist interest, fiction and children's books.
Boffins Books pop-up shop will be open Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 7pm.
The Western Australian Museum presents a pop-up exhibition featuring your favourite quotes from your favourite WA authors. In other words, what’s not to like?
