All Write
Our signature writing program offers a series of opportunities for writers, including hot desks, events, residencies, publications, networking, and exchanges.
Funded by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and Centre for Stories Founders Circle All Write is a writing program offering opportunities for emerging and mid-career writers who identify as CaLD and/or First Nations.
All Write offers a series of opportunities for writers, including hot desks, events, residencies, publications, networking, and exchanges. It builds on our prior decade of work to represent a levelling-up of artistic excellence and professional opportunity for writers who are emerging and mid-career. It will be open to all those who are interested in applying and who are selected; and is suited to those who seek national and international recognition.
Building from the success of Centre for Stories’ past writing program, Writing Change, Writing Inclusion, All Write is geared towards writers who want their careers to progress. With a stronger organisational focus and stable multi-year funding, Centre for Stories will provide support to emerging and mid-career writers through publication, festival participation and professional networking. The program will include print and digital publication, writing groups, hot desks, editing, exchanges, fellowships and more. It also contributes to the Centre’s growing national and international profile, and creates opportunities for writers to engage more fully in that.
Early Career Fellowship
The All Write Early Career Fellowships will be awarded to writers from diverse backgrounds who have completed a manuscript of fiction or non-fiction*. Generously funded by an anonymous donor, the fellowships are designed to give writers who are early in their career a boost throughout the manuscript assessment process.
Round two applications for 2024 are OPENED.

Read MoreI find I express myself best through writing, and some of the greatest joy I’ve gotten out of life has been reading writing that just soars. It gives me a satisfaction that goes beyond what can be had in our consumerist culture, a feeling of connection and revelation. I would love to give other people that experience through the writing I do.
