Boffins is excited to be a bookseller at Stories From the West, an afternoon of panel conversations with the shortlisted authors from the 2025 Western Australian Premier's Book Awards. Join us for an afternoon of panel conversations with the shortlisted authors over the course of 3 captivating panels.

1:00–2:00pm: Bringing Your Book to the World

Khin Myint, Emily Tsokos Purtill, Katherine Allum, Shaeden Berry and Daniel Juckes in conversation about what is involved with bringing life to your first book and sending it out into the world.

2:30–3:30pm: Two Truths and a Lie: Using memoir to tell a story

How subjective is the truth? What part of the story is left out? Can you change details to get the point across? Delve into the complexities of using memoir to tell bigger stories. With Tracy Westerman, Paul Hardisty, Julia Lawrinson, Gerard McCann, Wayne Bergmann & Madelaine Dickie.

4:00–5:00pm: What makes a Western Australian Story?

Annie Raser-Rowland, Sarah Winifred Searle, Alexander Thorpe, David Whish-Wilson and Louise Wolhuter discuss the impact of the Western Australian identity on their writing (and the impact of their writing on the Western Australian identity).
