Show Notes
The State Library of Queensland loses its role in running top literary awards after a review into the revoked fellowship for Indigenous author K A Ren Wyld. The black and white fellowship, worth $15,000, was pulled due to a deleted social media post about a Hamas leader. Wylds manuscript covered seven generations of stolen children, part of awards with a total pool of $261,000. The review recommended the library step back entirely, and the awards are now transitioning to new providers through Creative Australia. Wyld continues her work, including organizing events and past wins like a South Australian fellowship.
