Calling All Unpublished Aussie Writers!

There's a new mentorship program opening up for applications, and it looks spectacular.

You get:

-A week-long residency IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS

-A literary mentor

-A guarantee that your work will be read by one of seven leading Australian publishers

-An invitation to the alumni community when you're finished

The publishers will actually be the FINAL JUDGES when selecting the shortlisted applicants, so they'll definitely be wanting to see your work if you get in. How awesome is that?

Good luck!
