History

'Each year since 2013, three established Queensland authors have been awarded a Queensland Writers Fellowship to produce new work and progress their careers. The fellowships offer a $15,000 cash prize and career development support through the Queensland Writers Centre. The Queensland Writers Fellowships elevate Queensland authors by investing targeted support in extraordinary writers at the right time to support the production of new work.'
