New Fellowship: Writing Fire, Writing Drought

To support writers to develop new work in response to the drought and bushfire crisis, Varuna is pleased to announce six new fellowships for writers in regional NSW and outer-western Sydney.  

“We have been directly experiencing the impact of bushfires for months here in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, and we have watched on in horror at the fires causing heartbreaking destruction across many parts of Australia” said Amy Sambrooke, Varuna’s Creative Director.

“In response to this, and to the unprecedented conditions that have seen rivers run dry and towns run out of water, we are launching a new fellowship to support writers to make sense of this situation, and to contribute to urgent national and international conversations about climate change.”
