The Sydney Review of Books invites applications for the 2024 CA-SRB Emerging Critics Fellowships.

Each Fellow will receive a stipend of $3000 to write three 2000-word essays on new Australian books over a twelve-month period for publication in the Sydney Review of Books. Fellows will work closely with Sydney Review of Books editorial staff and receive mentoring and editorial support as they write their essays.

At least one fellowship will be awarded to a First Nations writer, and another to a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) writer. Fellowships will also reflect regional diversity and be allocated to critics from a minimum of three states and territories.
