To be launched by Mireille Juchau

The UTS Writers' Anthology has helped launch many careers, and continues to provide readers with some of the freshest ideas in Australian writing.

The creative writing degree at the University of Technology, Sydney, is the oldest in Australia – and 2011 marks the Anthology's special 25th edition.

Each year the Anthology features a foreword by a distinguished writer (Nam Le, in 2010). Authors' work is often selected for anthologies such as Best Australian Stories, and read on radio.

It is widely reviewed in the local and national press. This year the foreword will be written by the Managing Editor of The New Yorker, Amelia Lester.
