The Emerging Writers’ Festival acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, learn and work, and pays respect to their Elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

 

EWF celebrates the history and contemporary creativity of the world’s oldest living culture.

Creative Producers

As Artshub wrote of the Emerging Writers’ Festival: "If you’re an up-and-coming writer, this is the place to get your foot in the door… as you’ll make invaluable connections within Melbourne’s thriving emerging literary scene."

We couldn’t agree more and our interns have used the Creative Producer role as an incredible launching pad. Applications have now closed for EWF 2016 Creative Producers, but watch this space for future opportunities!
