Stella

Naarm/Melbourne

Founded in 2012, Stella’s flagship program is the annual Stella Prize – a major literary award celebrating Australian women and non-binary writing. Stella also delivers a suite of year-round initiatives which actively champion Australian women writers, tackle gender bias in the literary sector, and connect outstanding books with readers.

Our purpose is to promote books by Australian women and non-binary writers in all their diversity, support greater participation in the world of literature, and create a more equitable and vibrant national culture.
