As many of you no doubt know, each year the Wheeler Centre offers 'Hot Desk Fellowships' for emerging writers. Yesterday morning, the winners were announced: Twenty lucky writers were chosen by a selection panel that included representatives from the Wheeler Centre and our resident organisations: Melbourne Writers Festival, Emerging Writers Festival, SPUNC, Australian Poetry, Express Media, Writers Victoria and Melbourne PEN. The winners will receive a desk of their own at the Wheeler Centre for two months, plus a $1000 stipend. The writers who’ll be participating in this year’s fellowship are: André Dao, Aurelia Guo, Bernadette Hince, Chad Parkhill, Christa Jonathon, Claire Wilson, Daniel Bledwich, Eli Glasman, Elin-Maria Evangelista, Emily Stewart, Ender Baskan, Jennifer Down, Kieran Stevenson, Laura Woollett, Louis Bravos, Meaghan Bell, Rajith Savanadasa, Rebecca Harkins-Cross, Sebastian Fowler, and Susie Anderson."
