14.01.2022 Poet and essayist Fiona Murphy is a recipient of our Arts and Disability Mentoring Initative. She has been widely published in Australian literary magazines and anthologies including Kill Your Darlings, Australian Poetry Journal, The Lifted Brow and in 'Growing up Disabled in Australia'. Her debut memoir, ‘The Shape of Sound’, to be published by Text in 2021, is a collection of personal essays about forming a Deaf identity. The mentorship will allow Fiona to complete her sec...ond manuscript, a psychological thriller with a d/Deaf protagonist. Fiona points out, "Few d/Deaf characters are written by people with lived experience. Deafness is often treated as a metaphor rather than a reality." Fiona has selected mentors who are experts in writing, editing and pitching, and . She will also attend writing residences and conferences to establish a solid writing network.

12.01.2022 I’ve always known what I wanted to do but but I had no idea what to expect from the program. What I’ve come away with so far is a better understanding of the c...ultural side of leadership. While COVID-19 delayed the second Milparanga session for Suanne Sands and her cohort, it has already influenced how Suanne sees herself. Applications are closing soon for Milparanga 2021.
