“UWRF FUELLED ME CREATIVELY IN ENTIRELY NEW WAYS”: AAWP X UWRF EMERGING WRITERS’ PRIZE WINNER SOPHIE OVERETT
From over 100 submissions for the Australian Association of Writing Programs (AAWP) x UWRF18 Emerging Writers’ Prize, Sophie Overett’s Sea Wife was the winning entry. Sophie won a ticket to UWRF18, accommodation, and $500 towards airfares. She also received a one-year annual AAWP membership and fully subsidized fees to attend its annual conference where she read from her winning work. AAWP and UWRF have teamed up again in 2019 to present the Emerging Writers’ Prize. We spoke to Sophie about her UWRF and AAWP experience.
