Booranga highlights multicultural voices
1 JANUARY 2003
The Booranga Writers’ Centre at Charles Sturt University (CSU) is seeking contributions for a new anthology of writing exploring issues of cultural diversity and representation. The Centre is partnering with The Multicultural Council of Wagga to publish Riverina Multicultural Voices with funding from Regional Arts NSW. Booranga Writers’ Centre Director, Dr Derek Motion, said local writers from a non-Anglo-Celtic background are invited to contribute original work. “This might be poetry, fiction, non-fiction, a script or song lyrics, anything that can be defined as writing,” he said. “In recent years the Riverina region has become increasingly culturally diverse, and this publishing venture will locate the range of different voices in our region.” The Centre also plans to hold a series of writing workshops to help writers get work ready for publication in the book. Submissions must be received before the end of March and the book will be launched in August at the Wagga Wagga City Library.
