black&write! Fellowship Announcement Ceremony 2025

Join us in celebrating outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers when we welcome our two newest black&write! Fellows. Following a special award ceremony, hear about new work from First Nations writers and enjoy afternoon tea.

The black&write! Fellowships offer two Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander writers each a $15,000 prize, manuscript development with State Library’s black&write! editorial team and a publishing opportunity with University of Queensland Press.

We are pleased to have Che Skeen as our MC for this event. Che is a Wakka Wakka and Birri Gubba actor, playwright, author and creative producer.

black&write! is assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, as well as the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund. We are proud to work with University of Queensland Press as the black&write! Fellowship publishing partner.
