black&write! is a national project with a dual focus on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander writing and editing. It is the first project of its kind in Australia. The black&write! Writing Fellowships are offered annually to two Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander writers. The fellowships include a prize of $10,000, editorial development and publication opportunities. The black&write! Editing Internships recruit, train and mentor Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander editors. Congratulations to our 2019 black&write! Fellows, Tania Crampton-Larking and Lisa Fuller. As black&write! fellows, Lisa and Tania each receive manuscript development with the State Library black&write! editing team and publishing opportunities with Hachette Australia. black&write! encourages lifelong learning and literacy, and fosters a love of reading, writing and ideas. The 2020 black&write! Fellowships will open for applications in late 2019. Writing Fellowships Find out about our Fellowships for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander writers.
