Speculate Prize Anthology Launch

RMIT University is thrilled to partner with Emerging Writers Festival for the 'Speculate Prize for Emerging Writers Anthology' launch.

The inaugural Speculate Prize Anthology is a vibrant collection of bold, boundary-pushing new writing from emerging Australian voices. Published by RMIT's Bowen Street Press, this anthology showcases speculative fiction that reimagines the world as we know it – stories that question, dream, and disrupt. 

Clink the champagne glasses, grab a copy of the anthology, and enjoy readings and a panel featuring writers Sophie He, Will Moss, Tim Loveday, and 2025 Speculate Prize winner Melissa King.
