Together with Writers SA, we are thrilled to announce the 2025 SA Literary Fellowships winners.

In its second year, Writers SA and the State Library of South Australia continue to partner to offer a fellowships program to support emerging, mid-career, and First Nations writers.

The five annual fellowship winners receive a cash prize, up to three months’ residency with a desk in the State Library, access to the Library’s collections and more.

We are so pleased to offer local writers this fantastic opportunity, encouraging the original and imaginative use of the Library’s spaces and collections to develop their literary works.
