HARDCOPY
Hardcopy at the National Library of Australia
Thank you to all the incredible industry experts who flew into Canberra to present at the 2019 HARDCOPY Intro2Industry sessions. In addition we had several presentations from Serina Bird, Michael Brissenden, Laura Dawes, Lina Kastoumis from the Australia Council for the Arts, Patrick Mullins, Yolande Norris from artsACT, Zoya Patel, Katarina Pearson from Harry Hartog ANU, Jan Thurling from ACT Libraries and Michelle Scott Tucker.
After 6 amazing years we are resting HARDCOPY. We will be taking time to reflect on what we have learnt and what has been achieved and considering what HARDCOPY 2.0 might look like. We are so proud of this program and all the participants who have shared this journey with us. We have had incredible support from the Australia Council for the Arts, FNAWN, Ainslie + Gorman Arts Centres and the ACT Government.
Thank you to all ACT Writers staff past and present who have worked so hard behind the scenes. Finally a very special thank you to Nigel Featherstone who has steered and curated this program from its inception and worked tirelessly to make it the best it could be.
We also extend our congratulations to the cohort of exceptional writing students who were awarded the 2019 University of Canberra HARDCOPY Industry Access Scholarship.
