THE Society of Women Writers WA is holding a series of Wednesday writing classes at the Citiplace Community Centre next February, with one of the themes being to “write fearlessly”.

The sessions kick off with tutor Aileen Boyer on February 5 and 12, who’ll look at helping budding Rowlings find their voice along a “journey of self-discovery and creative exploration”.

“By experimenting with different forms and styles, drawing inspiration from others, engaging in writing exercises, and overcoming obstacles, you can uncover the authentic voice that is uniquely yours,” says Boyer, a finalist in Writing WA’s Flash Fiction competition.

Award-winning author, poet and publisher Helen Iles picks up the reins on February 19 and 26, helping aspiring writers to get their career kickstarted. “Part open forum, part writing activities, this short course will shape the mindset of those stepping into the world of wild imaginings and creativity,” the blurb reads.

Iles has been president of the society for some 15 years.
