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.

Programming Commitments

Industry and Community Forums

Since 2014, EWF has invited key industry professionals to engage in closed forums that have covered topics from Queer Writers, Pay the Writers, Women in Writing, Writers with Disability, First Nations Australian Writers, Self-Care in the Arts and Emerging at Any Age. These forums have made public statements of support to emerging writers in these communities, and EWF has committed to the needs of these communities being central to programming outcomes.
