The 2012 Australian Women Writers Challenge – Get on Board!
Did you know that 2012 has been designated the National Year of Reading? Did you also know that women are missing from the literary pages (rhetorical question), represented at a rate of about one gal to every seven blokes? Which provides the rationale behind The Australian Women Writers Challenge.
This challenge hopes to help counteract the gender bias in reviewing and social media newsfeeds that has continued throughout 2011. It actively promotes the reading and reviewing of a wide range of contemporary Australian women’s writing throughout 2012, the National Year of Reading.
For more information go to The Australian Women Writers Reading and Reviewing Challenge.
