We are delighted, along with Hannah Richell and the Richell family, and in partnership with the Hachette Australia, to announce the longlist for the 2025 Richell Prize for Emerging Writers.

The 2025 Emerging Writers' Festival is one week away! As the festival gets closer, we sat down with EWF's Associate Producer Kanika Chopra to learn more about what goes into programming a national literary festival, for writers and by writers.

We are so excited to introduce EWF's new Program Producer, Bianca Lucchesi! We sat down recently with Bianca to get to know her, chatting about writing, reading habits and more!
