Australian World Heritage Residency Program supports ‘Wet Tropics of Queensland’ project

Amanda Niehaus (on behalf of Science Write Now) has been announced as one of three recipients of the inaugural Australian World Heritage Residency Program for the project ‘Wet Tropics of Queensland’.

Science Write Now (SWN) is a literary magazine for creative writing inspired by science. It aims to ‘fill a critical gap in world publishing – to engage diverse audiences with fiction and nonfiction that contextualises science into everyday lives,’ said Creative Australia.

According to Creative Australia, the project will involve eight writers participating in an 11-day residency in the tropics of Queensland ‘to engage with the local environments and cultures for [SWN‘s] 2027 planned edition, The Hot Wet North’. The writers will present their work on the last night of the residency.

More information is available on the Creative Australia website.
