The State of the (Writing) Nation is Writers Victoria’s annual address from a prominent Australian writer, and a chance to reflect on what’s happening now and where we’re heading in Australian literature and publishing.
The State of the (Writing) Nation is Writers Victoria’s major annual fundraising event and will be hosted by poet and Writers Victoria patron Andy Jackson.
Join us in person to hear the 2024 address from journalist and author Louise Milligan whose book Witness was People’s Choice winner in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards. Milligan published her debut novel, Pheasants Nest, in March.
Hear Milligan's insights into the world of Australian literature and how we need to keep elevating voices that we wouldn't otherwise hear – voices that can change the national conversation. You will also hear from emerging writers Gurmeet Kaur and Beau Windon.
