First Friday, our monthly conversation with an industry professional, is a chance for our community to learn more about the writing and publishing industry. This June, we invite you to our online event with Fiona Hazard, group publishing director for Hachette Australia and New Zealand.

On Friday 18 August 2023, Ultimo Press, an independent publisher established in 2020 with the simple ambition to become home to Australia’s best storytellers, will be in residence at Writing NSW.

Join Writing NSW for the 2023 Speculative Fiction Festival, where panelists will discuss everything from world-building to crafting monsters, from cross media publication to hopeful futures, from the rise of darkness to the search for new light.
