Tasmanian Writers’ Centre
Wild gusts of wind, glorious snow and bracing temperatures have us all feeling deeply connected to our environment this month. Our August program fittingly celebrates the natural world, so come join us in the festivities.
In Hobart’s Hadleys Orient Hotel, the Forty South Short Story Anthology 2016 will be held on Saturday 20 April. A discussion panel and the announcement of the 2016 winning Young Writers Prize will be hosted by Chris Wisbey of ABC Radio.
At Freycinet, the winner of the Tasmanian Wildcare Nature Writing Prize will be announced. It’s scheduled for Saturday afternoon on August 27, alongside the National Park centenary celebrations. All our winners and runners-up will be there, some hailing from as far as New York, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. Why not join us for an afternoon of readings in the beautiful setting of Coles Bay?
In Launceston, six young writers will take their positions around the city to draw inspiration from their urban and natural environments. The next Young Writers in the City program will have a finale at the Junction Festival in September.
More information on these and other events will follow – and stay tuned for the announcement of the Erica Bell Mentorship Program on September 1, and for the exciting new Hidden Stories Program for Indigenous Literacy Day from September 7-11 at the Moonah Arts Centre.
Stay warm – there’s always room for you to escape the weather and cuddle up with a book in our library.
