Hunter Writers Centre Competitors

A literary nonprofit located in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn’s arts and cultural district, The Center for Fiction supports readers and writers of all ages and histories, and builds community through fiction. We offer a wide range of public programming for local and national audiences, workshops and creative spaces for emerging and established writers, and awards and fellowships that support the development of fresh talent and inspire readers to discover new voices. In the last year, over 200,000 people visited The Center, and more than 34,000 people participated in our in-person and virtual programs. Stop by our home in Brooklyn to browse our Bookstore and Café & Bar, attend an event, and tour our Membership Library and Writers Studio—or explore our work online at centerforfiction.org.

Our purpose is to champion and invest in Australian arts and creativity. We want everyone to regularly experience the inspiration, satisfaction and wellbeing that stems from living a creative life. We want inspiring arts experiences to be welcoming and easily accessible, and reflective of our unique and special culture that is simultaneously ancient and contemporary. We want to invest in artists and cultural organisations and support them to evolve to meet new challenges, fully realise their creative potential and thrive in the new world of creative engagement. Everyone benefits from investment in arts and creativity, and we want the social, cultural and economic return on this investment to be well understood and recognised.
