The Next Big Thing: Hot Desk 2023 Edition #2

In this instalment of our popular Next Big Thing series, we’re showcasing writers from the second intake of the 2023 Wheeler Centre Hot Desk Fellowships.   

The Wheeler Centre’s Hot Desk Fellowships are in full swing, and in this instalment of our ever-popular Next Big Thing series, we’re showcasing writers from the second intake of fellows. Grab a drink from the Moat bar and be the first to hear excerpts from these exciting projects-in-progress. Featuring Sue deGennaro, Vivian Nguyen, Anita Solak, Ruby Todd, Kristen Tytler and Anthea Yang, these works – ranging from middle grade fiction and poetry to literary fiction and plays – have all been refined over the writers’ ten-week fellowships. 

The Wheeler Centre Hot Desk Fellowships are supported by the Readings Foundation and Just Pretending theatre group. 

The Next Big Thing

The Next Big Thing takes place every month at the Moat and is a cherished Melbourne institution. It’s the place to be if you want to hear great emerging writers read from new and adventurous work.
