Inaugural ABR Inglis Fellowship announced

The Australian Book Review (ABR) has announced a new fellowship program—the $5000 ABR Inglis Fellowship.

The inaugural year-long program will give one fellow the opportunity to write three review essays and/or commentaries about Australian history and culture for publication in the ABR.

Applications are open to writers aged 35 and under, who live in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand, and will close on 1 July. The selected fellow is expected to be announced by the end of that month.

Funded through donations, the fellowship ‘honours the remarkable Ken and Amirah Inglis, whose writings and participation in Australia’s cultural and social life enriched this country,’ said the ABR. ‘The Inglises were generous in encouraging young writers and providing them with rare opportunities. This fellowship seeks to acknowledge that legacy.’

More information about the fellowship is available on the ABR website.
