Contributors come from a wide cross section of the Australian and international literary scene and include emerging writers, the diasporic communities of Australia, writers of languages other than English and the LGBTQI+ communities who show what Australia looks, sounds, reads like and so nurture conversation with writers around the world.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which the fundraiser will take place, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. It is a privilege to live and work on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land. We acknowledge that this land is stolen land. This land was never ceded and sovereignty and treaties are yet to be negotiated.
