This month, the Writing NSW team has been reading memoir, devouring essays on women’s football in the midst of the Matildas fever, and listening to podcasts that tell stories and discuss writing for video games.

Have a look at what the Writing NSW team has been reading over the last month: short stories, crime fiction, our own program manager’s debut, a black comedy, and poetic YA.

Have a look at what the Writing NSW team has been reading recently: stories of Country, queerness, grief, coming of age, and speculative fiction.

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.
