The 2024 Anne Edgeworth Fellowship worth $5,000 was awarded to Linda Chen to help her to develop her craft of writing television and film screenplays. The selection committee were impressed by Linda’s complex, high-concept, structurally challenging scripts, which incorporated multiple timelines, false memory arcs, and include shrewd and edgy social and political comment. The award should assist her to achieve her stated aim of achieving a stronger, more consistent and systematic writing process for taking her screenplays from concept outline to script draft to a refined and polished final product.

With thanks to the Anne Edgeworth Trust for their ongoing support of emerging writers in the ACT region.
