- Increase opportunities for regionally-based groups to access a diverse range of arts programs.
- Enable communities to explore and express their cultural identities.
- Bring social and economic benefits to the community through training, employment and promotional opportunities.

Finding a voice
PRESENTED by Text Publishing and Writing NSW, the Boundless Indigenous Writer’s Mentorship aims to discover and nurture a powerful new Indigenous voice in Australian literature.
This joint initiative will provide a year-long structured mentorship to an unpublished Indigenous writer of fiction or non-fiction.
The program will pair an emerging Indigenous writer from anywhere in Australia with a senior Indigenous writer in the same genre.
The writer will receive 20 hours of mentorship over the 12 months. The writer will also receive editorial feedback and manuscript development from Text Publishing and access to Writing NSW professional development services.
Applications close midnight (AEST) on Monday, August 13, 2018.
The program includes funding for the writer and mentor to attend the Boundless writers’ festival in Sydney in 2019.
On completion, Text Publishing will have the exclusive first right to consider the selected manuscript for publication, under terms to be negotiated with the writer.
You can find lots more local and regional arts events at artsoutwest.org.au.
