[SECTION]Three Great Writers Centres in Perth[/SECTION]



Have you ever finished a book and thought "I could write better than that"? Or maybe you want to record your life story for future generations.

If you're wondering how to start, joining a writers centre may be the answer. These centres provide help with instruction, support, inspiration and professional advice. Whatever your interest, from autobiography to science fiction and everything in between, there's one for you.

Each group is different, so take the time to visit their website, read their newsletters and possibly attend a workshop to get the feel of the organisation. Membership isn't generally required to participate but members get discounted access to workshops and other benefits.
