Congratulations to the successful applicants to our 2023 mentoring program for emerging literary curators from culturally diverse backgrounds: Alejandra Martinez, Greg Page and Simone Amelia Jordan, as well as returning curators Tina Huang and Zohra Aly.
Check out some of the wonderful literary events happening in Sydney and around NSW (and online) this June!
‘Reading YA as a young person empowered me with the language to talk about things that I didn’t know how to talk about. I found a library of reference for my many emotions and experiences.’
I believe our mental instability and persistent dissatisfaction in life can be attributed in part to being writers – the anxiety about a permanence that can never be perfect. We live with our past selves in print— yet we are allowed to grow. At any chance we are given. How do we write a self that will continue to expand and twirl across the eons of our limited time?
The Writing NSW team is heading to Sydney Writers’ Festival! Check out what we’re most excited to see, and give us the strength to not spend every dollar we have on books.
Please note, the Writing NSW office will be closed on Friday 26 May.
‘Research has given me characters and their stories and if the synopsis is the bones of my novel, research helps me put flesh on those bones.’
