The Citizen Writes Project aims to demonstrate how creative writing and the power of words can influence and inspire, and to create opportunities for inclusion and representation of culturally diverse stories in our society.
Supported by City of Sydney’s Matching Grant program, the Citizen Writes Project develops and highlights work by culturally and linguistically diverse writers, and aims to demonstrate how creative writing and the power of words can influence and inspire. The project creates opportunities for emerging writers to develop
their craft, celebrates voices that are rarely heard in the mainstream, and encourages cross-fertilisation of ideas, process and media
The organisers of this project acknowledge that our voices are those of immigrants to Australia, beneficiaries of Indigenous dispossession and would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we stand, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
