WA Poets Publishing, WAPP, is the formalised extension of the publishing that was originally conducted under WA Poets Inc. It has arisen as a natural progression for WA Poets Inc and due to the current reduced publishing opportunities for established poets. The Master Poets Series is WAPP’s first venture and will see the publication of eminent Western Australian poets in high quality, short run publications. These will be complemented with one–off publications as they eventuate.

WAPP will continue to publish anthologies previously published under the WAPI banner.
