Dr Ashley Haywood is the recipient of the Library’s Creative Writing Fellowship for 2018. The Creative Writing Fellowship provides an emerging Australian author with the opportunity to develop a new work of creative writing, drawing on the special collections of The University of Queensland's Fryer Library as inspiration for a novel, play, collection of short stories, book of poems, novella or associated creative work. The Fellowship is offered with the support of the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, an Australian not-for-profit organisation with an interest in supporting creativity, and library donors.
