Applications now open for the CA-SRB 2024 Emerging Critics Fellowship program

In partnership with the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, the Sydney Review of Books invites applications for the 2024 Emerging Critics Fellowship program.

Applications through our Submittable portal close 11:59pm, Monday, 17 June 2024.

Since 2016, the CA-SRB Emerging Critics Fellowship program has fostered diverse, provocative, and original critical voices, and created pathways for emerging critics to develop their practice. In this year’s program, we will offer four fellowships to the brightest emerging Australian literary critics. At least one fellowship will be awarded to a First Nations writer, and another to a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) writer.

Fellowships will also reflect regional diversity and be allocated to critics from a minimum of three states and territories.

Each Fellow will receive a stipend of $3,000 to write three 2,000-word essays on new Australian books over a twelve-month period for publication in the SRB. Fellows will work closely with SRB editorial staff and receive mentoring and editorial support.

Judges for the 2024 CA-SRB Emerging Critics Fellowships are: James Jiang (SRB Editor), Harriet McInerney (Publisher, NewSouth Publishing), and Prithvi Varatharajan (Emerging Critics Fellow, 2020).
