The Writing Sector Review Final Recommendations is the culmination of an extensive consultation process initiated by Culture and the Arts in 2016 with the aim of identifying future directions and opportunities for the WA writing sector.

In late 2016, a private sector consultancy was engaged to undertake a review of the sector under governance of an independent reference group with expertise in writing sector development. 

The consultant’s report and reference group’s recommendations were released for public comment in July 2017. The resulting Writing Sector Review Final Recommendations is the Department’s final release, which takes into account results of the public consultation.
