Terri-ann White, series editor of the New Writing Series and Publisher at UWA Press, invites manuscripts to be sent for consideration. After liaising with program coordinators in Australian universities to source potential manuscripts for the New Writing series, she is now interested in encouraging writers who may not yet be finished with their projects to consider sending details for future submissions.
UWA Press has established rigorous guidelines to ensure a high standard for the list. This includes sourcing novels and shorter prose from postgraduate creative writing courses in universities across Australia, where exciting new works from emerging and established writers have been produced over the last decade or so. By introducing this series, UWA Press is recognising the role of Australian universities in nurturing and supporting writers, and contributing to the continuing production of Australian writing.
The two titles chosen to launch the New Writing Series are A New Map of the Universe by Annabel Smith andCusp by Josephine Wilson:
